Instructions:
- Cook the Eggs:
Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook to your liking—fried for runny yolks, or scrambled for a fluffier texture. Season with salt and pepper. - Toast the Bread:
While the eggs cook, toast the bread in a toaster or in a dry skillet until golden and crisp. - Assemble the Sandwiches:
On one slice of toast, layer a slice of cheese, a slice of ham, one cooked egg, and another slice of cheese. Top with the second piece of toast. - Melt the Cheese:
Place the assembled sandwiches back in the skillet over low heat and cook for 1–2 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the cheese is melted. - Serve:
Slice in half and garnish with parsley or chives if using. Serve immediately while warm.
Variations :
- Use sourdough, brioche, or bagels for different textures.
- Add sliced tomatoes, sautéed spinach, or avocado for extra nutrition.
- Swap ham for bacon, turkey, or sausage.
Tips :
- For ultra-gooey cheese, cover the skillet briefly while melting the sandwich.
- Toasting the bread before assembling helps it stay crisp even with melty fillings.
- Spread Dijon mustard or herbed mayo on the inside for added flavor depth.
