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.

Hi! I'm Natasha Kravchuk. Here you'll find delicious, trusted recipes with easy step-by-step photos and videos. 
In the video you just have the avocado sitting there at the end. lol It doesn’t serve any purpose in the video and is only used as a prop in the picture. Of course avocados have many health properties and are good at any time of the day for dietary reasons. I just find it odd to have a cut avocado sitting there that serves no purpose.
Also. You didn’t even heat the ham up? Just let the surrounding heat of the egg heat it? Why not lightly grill it? The “pepper”, you can’t even see that you used any on the sandwich. Of course that is a personal preference
Thank you for that feedback Topher, we do love to add avocado to our sandwich. 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!
Thanks! I now make this breakfast sandwich 1-2x weekly however, I only use one egg and one sausage. Plus, I do toast the English muffin in a toaster. Do enjoy very much.
That’s so great! It sounds like you have a new favorite!
Hey Natasha just made this for my husband and I Omg it was so good I will be making it again thank you for the recipe
That’s so great! Sounds like you found a new favorite!
As a breakfast sandwich addict, couldn’t wait to try this. Now on my fourth time and so call for a comment. It was great!! I did change the chives to chopped jalapeno and used cooking spray instead of oil. This is a great breakfast sandwich. I have friends coming over next weekend so will prepare this, omit the cheese and jalapeno, but make a white cheese sauce with onion and jalapeno to pour over them.
Thanks!!!!!
Sounds like you found a new favorite, Bill! Thank you for that wonderful review!
Thank you for the recipe Natasha! My sandwich didn’t look as pretty as yours, but it was still delicious! And so easy to make!
I’m so happy you enjoyed that, Irina!
How could I make the breakfast sandwich for a crowd of 40 people? I work at a hotel that has complementary breakfast. We use liquid eggs instead of regular eggs. Everything but the liquid eggs come precooked. Or can u give me other ideas for making breakfast sandwiches
Hi Greta! I love that you are thinking of your guests. You can always make it a “make your own” breakfast sandwich bar!
Hi! What temp is the ham? Do you just take it out cold from the fridge and put it on the sandwich or do you heat it up?
Hi RM, I use it straight from the refrigerator.
Has anyone tried making and freezing for easy grab and go work week breakfasts?
Hi Michelle! I haven’t tried that but all of the ingredients are freezer friendly so I think it would work fine.
thanks dear and good luck
You’re welcome!
I definitely will try this. Looks awesome.

I’m happy to hear the recipe is an absolute HIT with your family! Thanks for sharing your fantastic review Lois!
I have done something similar with left over hamburger buns.
They work well and are more tender than the muffins.
Great suggestion, thanks for sharing!
This sandwich will be today’s breakfast…looks yummy!
It’s so easy and delicious! I hope you love it Edythe!
Natasha,
Thank you for such an easy and yummy recipe. My husband calls it “ a manwich” and asks me quite often to make him one for breakfast.
You’re welcome Nadia! I’m glad you both love the recipe. Thanks for sharing!
I’m having a wedding shower brunch on Saturday and I think I will serve these sandwiches. I will start cooking them up 30 minutes early and wrap in foil then keep in a warm roasting pan. Do you think it will work?
Hi DeAnn, the only concern I would have about that is the muffin would get soft from the trapped steam inside the foil. It sounds like a good idea, but I would suggest testing by wrapping one in foil for 30 minutes to see if the moisture doesn’t make the muffin too soft.
I am seriously drooling over here lol cannot wait to make this in the morning!
I would love to hear how it turns out 😀
Yummy Natasha! I am watching this video from work. as soon as i get time i will definitely make one for my daughter.
Please let me know what you both think of the recipe!
Good day Natasha! I am sorry to say I couldn’t ooen the video. It says error loading media: file couldn’t be played.
