Ingredients
Scale
Eggs and Butter
- 5 tablespoons salted butter, softened and divided
- 8 large eggs
Bread and Cheese
- 8 slices sourdough or artisan bread
- 4 slices Swiss cheese (about 4 ounces)
- 4 slices American cheese (about 4 ounces)
Meat
- 16 slices thin deli ham (about 8 ounces)
Instructions
- Prepare the eggs: Melt 1 tablespoon of the salted butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. In a bowl, whisk the 8 large eggs until well combined. Pour the eggs into the skillet and cook gently over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally with a silicone spatula to fold cooked eggs from the edges to the center. Continue cooking until the eggs are softly scrambled and no liquid remains, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Butter the bread: Spread the remaining 4 tablespoons of salted butter evenly over one side of each of the 8 slices of sourdough bread.
- Assemble the sandwiches for toasting: Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place all bread slices buttered side down in the skillet. On 4 of the bread slices, layer 1 slice of Swiss cheese followed by 4 slices of thin deli ham each. On the remaining 4 slices, place 1 slice of American cheese.
- Toast the bread and melt cheese: Cook the bread until golden brown and toasted, approximately 2 to 3 minutes, ensuring the cheese melts and the ham warms through.
- Add scrambled eggs to cheese side: Evenly divide the scrambled eggs over the slices topped with American cheese.
- Form the sandwiches: Top the egg-covered slices with the ham and Swiss cheese halves to form 4 sandwiches. Serve immediately, mimicking the classic diner presentation by having the eggs on top and the ham on the bottom.
Notes
- This recipe can be customized by using different breads such as ciabatta or whole wheat, or cheeses like cheddar or provolone.
- For a complete meal, serve alongside fresh fruit or crispy hash browns.
