A simple, satisfying breakfast sandwich that recreates the classic fast-food favorite—only fresher, customizable, and easy to batch for busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 English muffins, sliced and toasted
  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese
  • 4 slices deli ham
  • Kosher salt, to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat & Prep

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C)
  • Lightly grease 4 round ramekins and place them on a baking sheet

2. Cook the Eggs

  • Crack one egg into each ramekin
  • Add a pinch of salt
  • Lightly beat each egg just enough to break the yolk
  • Bake for 12–15 minutes, until set

3. Remove Eggs

  • Let cool slightly
  • Run a knife around the edges to release each egg round

4. Assemble the Sandwiches

  • Place bottom half of toasted English muffin
  • Layer:
    • 1 slice cheddar cheese
    • 1 slice deli ham
    • 1 baked egg
  • Top with the other muffin half

5. Serve

  • Serve warm, or wrap for an on-the-go breakfast

Notes

  • Grease well: Prevents eggs from sticking to ramekins
  • Don’t overbake: Keeps eggs tender instead of rubbery
  • Toast muffins lightly: Maintains structure without drying out
