Why This Recipe Works
This sandwich is a perfect way to start your day with a boost of protein and flavor. The melted cheddar adds a rich, creamy touch, while the egg keeps it satisfying and filling. It’s quick to make and great for busy mornings.
Cooking Tips You Should Know
- Use a non-stick pan to cook the egg evenly without sticking.
- For extra flavor, toast the bread lightly before assembling.
- Add a pinch of salt and pepper to the eggs while cooking for enhanced taste.
Step 1
Take a slice of bread and topping it with some mozzarella cheese. Place another slice on top and use a round cutter to cut out a circle from the center. Set that cut-out piece aside.
Step 2
Take a third slice of bread and spread cheddar cheese over it. Then place this slice under the first two stacked slices.
Step 3
In the hole you cut out, gently add a piece of chicken ham, being careful not to break it. Sprinkle some shredded mozzarella cheese over the ham.
Step 4
Crack an egg on top of the ham and cheese. Season with a little salt and pepper. If you like, add some extra cheese around the edges.
Step 5
You can also spread some cheese on the cut-out bread circle for extra cheesiness.
Step 6
Bake everything at 180°C (350°F) for about 10 minutes, until the outside is crispy and the inside stays soft.
Step 7
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious breakfast sandwich!
Serving Ideas For Every Meal
Serve warm with a side of fresh fruit or a small salad to balance the richness. A hot cup of coffee or tea pairs nicely. You can also add sliced avocado or tomato for extra freshness.
How To Store For Later
If you have leftovers, wrap the sandwich tightly in foil or plastic wrap and keep it in the refrigerator. Reheat gently in a microwave or toaster oven to preserve the texture of the bread and cheese. Consume within 1-2 days for best quality.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of cheese instead of mozzarella?
Yes, you can substitute mozzarella with cheddar, Swiss, or any cheese that melts well.
What bread works best for this sandwich?

How do I prevent the egg from spilling out of the hole?
Crack the egg gently and add it slowly, making sure the ham and cheese create a small barrier.
Can I make this sandwich vegetarian?
Yes, simply omit the chicken ham or replace it with a veggie alternative like sautéed mushrooms.
Is it possible to cook this on a stovetop instead of baking?
Yes, use a covered skillet on low heat and cook until the egg sets and bread crisps.
How do I know when the sandwich is done baking?
The bread should be golden and crispy, and the egg white cooked but yolk still soft.
Can I prepare this sandwich ahead of time?
It’s best served fresh, but you can assemble it and refrigerate for a few hours before baking.

Loved how crispy the bread got while the inside stayed gooey with melted cheese and soft eggs. I was a bit worried about overcooking the eggs but they turned out just right. This recipe is now my go-to when I want a quick but satisfying meal.

I’ve made lots of egg sandwiches but this one stood out because of the cheddar’s creaminess paired with nicely cooked eggs. I slightly undercooked the eggs on purpose to keep the yolks runny, and the result was excellent. Will definitely keep this recipe handy.

Cooked this for an easy breakfast and my kids couldn’t get enough. The cheddar was nicely melted and the eggs were fluffy. I did reduce the salt slightly since my family prefers less sodium. Will definitely make again soon.

The sandwich was tasty and filling, though I’d recommend using a sharper cheddar next time to punch up the flavor. I toasted the bread a bit too long at first, so watch out for that. Overall, a reliable recipe for quick mornings when I don’t want to fuss over cooking.

Good flavor but kinda plain for me. Next time I’m trying with some bacon or avocado, still an easy recipe to follow.
