Easy and amazingly delicious breakfast sandwiches. Made with toasted English muffins, creamy herbed eggs, flavorful cheddar, and thin cut deli ham (plus lots of options to change things up, see notes).

📝 Ingredients

  • 5 large eggs
  • 3 Tbsp heavy cream
  • 1/4 tsp salt, (or more to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 Tbsp fresh parsley
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp minced fresh chives
  • 4 English muffins ((white, wheat, or sourdough), split in half)
  • 8 slices (8 oz) deli ham, (such as black forest or tavern)
  • 4 slices (4 oz) cheddar cheese ((preferably medium or sharp), or Swiss cheese)
  • Hot sauce, (to taste (optional))
  • Olive oil cooking spray (or avocado oil spray)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1In a mixing bowl using a fork whisk together eggs, heavy cream, salt, pepper, parsley and chives until combined.
  2. 2Spray a 12-inch non-stick skillet with cooking spray. Heat over medium-low heat and add eggs. Cook, and stir until curds begin to form, scoot to shape into a square about 7-inches.
  3. 3Cut into 4 portions then turn each portion to cook on the opposite side. Remove from heat before eggs have reached desired doneness as they'll continue to cook from residual heat of pan.
  4. 4Set an oven rack one level above center and preheat oven broiler to LOW broil. If you don't have low broil option then just use the standard high option and keep oven rack in center of oven.
  5. 5Place English muffins on a baking sheet, split side up. Transfer to oven and let toast until golden brown, about 1 minute (keep a close eye on them don't walk away they may even toast faster).
  6. 6Remove from oven, spray each cut side with a fair amount of cooking spray. Place cheese slices on four of the halves, then on the other four fold and layer ham slices (2 slices on each of the four).
  7. 7Return to oven and let broil until cheese has melted nicely, about 1 to 2 minutes (again keep a close eye on them don't walk away).
  8. 8Assemble breakfast sandwiches by layering each cooked egg portion over ham on english muffin, add hot sauce if desired, then top with the cheese covered English muffin. Serve right away.
