Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Bread slices
- 2 slices Ham
- 2 slices Cheddar cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 teaspoon Mayonnaise (optional)
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
Instructions
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add a small amount of butter (about 1/2 teaspoon) to the skillet and crack the egg into the pan.
Sprinkle the egg with a pinch of salt and black pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes until the egg white is set and the yolk is slightly runny or fully cooked, depending on your preference. Remove the egg and set aside.
Spread the remaining butter evenly on one side of each bread slice.
Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, on the skillet over medium heat.
Layer one slice of cheese, followed by the ham slices, the cooked egg, and the second slice of cheese on top of the bread in the skillet.
Cover the sandwich with the second bread slice, buttered side up.
Cook for 3-4 minutes until the bottom bread is golden brown and crispy. Press down gently with a spatula for even cooking.
Carefully flip the sandwich and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes, until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it rest for a minute before slicing in half. Serve warm and enjoy!
