Egg, Ham and Cheese Toasted Sandwich

During the school year, we are always looking for a fast and easy breakfast, What a joy it is when it can also be scrumptious and nutritious.

When our children were in elementary school, their pediatrician recommended eggs for breakfast. He believed protein was a necessary part of a students diet and would satiate their appetite until lunch.

My entire family refers to my husband as the Sandwich Chef. He really does make the best sandwiches in the world.

Today I will share our household's favorite breakfast sandwich. While I usually made these sandwiches for our children, my husband gets complete credit for creating the first masterpiece.

The Breakfast Buddy Sandwich

  • Salt

  • Pepper

    • The Right Egg Turner

    Finding the right egg turner can be as difficult as seeking a lost treasure.

    I personally prefer a spatula that is light weight, has a thin stainless steel blade and an easy grip handle. I also prefer one that is wide enough to actually hold a fried egg for turning without breaking the yolk.

      I first saw a similar sandwich in the movie 'Harvey'. That was an Egg and Onion sandwich, which I occasionally enjoy. But this look better, I had not thought to add ham or other meat to the mix. Thanks

      Oh no one loves the breakfast sandwich like I do. I'm a huge fan of breakfast in general, I was born during breakfast time. Something about having a good sandwich with egg and cheese and meat in the morning is just amazing way to start to your day.

      It's morning, I'm sitting here with my second cup of coffee, and I stumble onto this absolutely scrumptious looking breakfast sandwich. What can I say...my jaw almost dropped to the floor, my tummy started gurgling, and my mouth started watering. What a delicious combination of egg, ham, and cheese into breakfast food. Yummy.
