Breakfast Sandwich - A One Pan Breakfast (Video Recipe)

This Breakfast Sandwich combines toasted English muffin halves with eggs cooked directly in the pan alongside, layered with ham, cheese, and chives. The eggs are cracked and gently pressed, cooked through with seasoning and cheese melted on top. The sandwich is assembled in the pan, resulting in a warm, slightly crispy exterior with a tender, cheesy egg and savory ham center. Its one-pan method simplifies cooking and makes it easy to scale up for multiple sandwiches.

Description

The Breakfast Sandwich involves toasting English muffin halves cut-side down in a pan, while simultaneously cooking two eggs cracked side by side in the same pan. Breaking the yolks and seasoning with salt, pepper, and chives allows the eggs to cook evenly and absorb flavor. Sprinkling cheese atop the eggs and covering them with the muffin halves melts the cheese and slightly softens the muffin interior. After flipping the sandwich and adding slices of ham and more cheese, the sandwich is folded and removed from heat. This method keeps all components warm and melds the flavors together.

This sandwich makes a satisfying breakfast or brunch option, combining protein, carbs, and dairy in a handheld form. It’s suitable for quick meals and can be customized with different cheese or meat choices. The use of a single pan makes cleanup convenient.

You can easily adjust the recipe to prepare multiple sandwiches by toasting muffins separately and cooking eggs in batches, accommodating different portion sizes.
