Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 4 ounces smoked ham, thinly sliced
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons green onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 soft sandwich buns
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, turn off the heat, cover, and let the eggs sit for 10 minutes.
Drain the hot water from the saucepan and replace it with cold water to stop the cooking process. Once cool, peel the eggs and chop them into small pieces.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, green onion, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to create the egg salad.
Preheat the broiler on high and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Slice the sandwich buns in half and spread the cut sides with softened butter. Place the buns, buttered side up, on the prepared baking sheet.
Broil the buns for 1-2 minutes, or until toasted and golden brown. Watch closely to avoid burning.
Remove the buns from the oven and layer each toasted bun with a slice of ham, a generous scoop of egg salad, and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
Return the assembled buns to the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-broiling.
Serve immediately while warm and melty, and enjoy these savory, cheesy delights!
