Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 slices sourdough bread
  • 4 oz deli ham, thinly sliced
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp whole milk
  • 2 slices Swiss cheese
  • 2 slices American cheese
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp butter or neutral oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Melt 1 tbsp unsalted butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Beat 3 large eggs with 2 tbsp whole milk, season with salt and pepper. Warm 4 oz ham in the pan for 1 minute, pour the egg mixture over, and fold gently for 2 to 3 minutes until just set.
  2. Reduce heat to low. Lay 1 slice Swiss cheese and 1 slice American cheese over the eggs, cover with a lid, and melt for about 1 minute until both cheeses are fully melted.
  3. In a second skillet, heat 1 tsp butter or neutral oil over medium heat. Grill all 4 slices of sourdough bread for about 2 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
  4. Place 2 slices of grilled sourdough on a board. Divide the egg, ham, and cheese mixture evenly over them, top with the remaining 2 slices, press gently, and cut each sandwich diagonally. Serve with the cut side up.

Notes

You can scramble the eggs a touch underdone on purpose since they'll continue cooking from the residual heat of the pan and from the cheese melting on top. If your skillet runs hot, pull the eggs at the glossy stage rather than waiting for them to look fully dry. The sandwich is best eaten fresh off the skillet.
