You can easily scale this recipe up or down depending on how many mouths you’re feeding. Watch this video tutorial to see just how quick and easy it is…
This recipe has completely won us over. The inspiration came when My husband’s cousin Vicky shared a video on Facebook for a breakfast sandwich. After making our version 4 days in a row, we knew it needed to be shared with you.
This is also a kid-friendly breakfast. Our son requests this sandwich all the time.
Ingredients for 1 Breakfast Sandwich:
1 english muffin, cut in half
2 eggs
2-4 slices of ham (we ❤️ black forest but any kind will do)
1/3 cup finely shredded cheese (we used Mexican cheese)
1 tsp chives, finely chopped
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 Tbsp olive oil or butter to saute
Tip: to make 2 sandwiches at a time, toast the English muffin in the toaster and sauté two sets of eggs in the pan.

What is your go-to quick breakfast?
Natasha – Your clip on this breakfast sandwich was Awesome! Great job – sometimes, you just need someone to “show” you. Love reading all the comments with the different variations. Thank you for sharing!
Tracy, I’m so glad to hear that and you are welcome 😁.
I love this sandwich!!!! I make it very often. What do you think it would taste like with Russian malochnaya kalbasa?
I think that would work or just about any thin-sliced sausage. We’ve made it with polish kielbasa and it was so yummy!
Natasha,
Thank you so much for as a brilliant idea. I have tried today in the morning and it was delicious. I didn’t have any ham, but still it turned out delicious.
Thank you
You are so welcome, I’m glad you enjoyed it 😁.
Hello Natasha, I just made this for lunch. Didn’t have English muffins but it worked great with marble rye, turkey meat, and grated asiago cheese. Thanks for the quick idea! Janet
Janet, thank you for the nice review and you are welcome 😁.
That is soooo smart wow.post more video s cause I already watched all of them:)
Thank you Amelia, I have another video in the works for the next week 😁.
Can these be frozen and later reheated in the toaster oven?
Hi Alina, I haven’t tried that but all of the ingredients are freezer friendly so I think it would work fine.
Do you think i can make a few of these for the week? Will they be any good for next day?
I think these are best served fresh. I would recommend prepping the ingredients for the sandwiches in advance so it only takes 5 minutes to prepare a hot and cheesy sandwich. I do think it would still work to make them ahead and then put them in the oven or microwave before serving to warm them and melt the cheese.
How is the breakfast sandwich different from McDonald’s Eggmcmuffing ? Same ingredients except for chives and Mexicheeses.
You have much higher quality ingredients, it tastes much better and it is much more satisfying – egg mcmuffins have nothing on this sandwich! 😉
Agreed, Natasha. McD’s eggs come in a big plastic bag. Real eggs are always better than bags of liquid eggs. I hear it is possible to ask for a real egg in the shell at McD but have not tried it. Also, I maje these on hamburger buns and add grape jelly. The salty ham and sweet jelly is so good.
This sandwich may not be much different than an egg mcmuffin in ingredient makeup, but it is so much more satisfying and better tasting than the corporate version. And, you can tailor the ingredients to fit any family member’s personal taste. My vote is for Natasha’s recipe.
Yay thank you so much! Your comment is much appreciated.
This is an awesome recipe. It’s super easy and quick, and super delicious. I usually don’t cook breakfast for my husband (he is too picky about his breakfast), but I decided to give it a try. He loved it, and asked for it again the next morning. I used turkey instead of ham (that’s what we had in the fridge), and added a slice of bacon! You can’t beat this recepi! Natasha, thank you!
Diana I’m so happy you and your husband loved it! I think bacon is a great idea! 🙂
Ha Ha! Still chuckling at how easy this is Natasha! Easy, but Genius! Soooo tasty and wonderfully quick! I substituted some sliced red onion for a crunchier texture (I hope you don’t mind!) which I really love!
Yet another brilliantly handy recipe from Natasha’s Kitchen! Thank You so much!
Keep up the great work on these fabulous videos with hubby!

Keith, that’s so great! It sounds like you have a new favorite! Thank you for the encouragement 😀.
I’ve made this before but not like you did in one pan. Now I’m hungry. I noticed you had an avocado on your counter. Do you use it on the sandwich or was it just for decoration? Just curious, because I love avocado.
You can put it in the sandwich or just serve it on the side for breakfast which is what we did. I sprinkle avocado with salt and pepper and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. So yummy! 🙂
My son has requested this sandwich every morning this past week! Its so quick and easy to make! I love it! Thank you Natasha! As always my picky eaters approve!!!

Omg yo Natasha made this just now only thing is next time need to toast the English muffin a little bit more but omg wowsa I am in such food heaven now in place of the chives which I didn’t have in hand I used parsley flakes and in place of the ham I definitely did sprinkle extra cheese (my fave part lol) and placed a few hot sliced jalapeno peppers and came out really very hooked mmmmm this one is a winner babes dd (dunkin donuts will definitely see less of me now lmao) such a gr8 economical saver and way creative with the English muffin love it
