Start by preparing the eggs: Crack two eggs into a small bowl and whisk thoroughly. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper for seasoning.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and melt 1/2 tablespoon of butter. Pour in the beaten eggs and gently scramble them, stirring continuously until just cooked but still soft. Remove from heat and set aside.
Spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese onto one slice of bread and another 1 tablespoon onto the second slice.
Layer two slices of ham onto one slice of the bread (cream cheese side up) and place the scrambled eggs evenly on top of the ham.
Add one slice of cheddar cheese on top of the eggs.
Close the sandwich with the second slice of bread, cream cheese side down, to complete the sandwich layers.
Heat 1/2 tablespoon of butter in a clean skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, pressing down gently with a spatula, until golden brown.
Flip the sandwich and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes, until the bread is toasted and the cheese has melted.
Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it cool slightly before slicing in half.
Garnish with chopped chives if desired, and serve warm.
