- Step 1
In a small bowl, beat eggs, sugar and salt with a fork until blended but not frothy.
- Step 2
Divide the butter in half and spread on each slice (½ tablespoon each).
- Step 3
Heat the remaining teaspoon butter in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. When the butter melts, add the eggs and scramble for 5 seconds with a silicone spatula, then spread in a thin, even layer. Lay the ham over the wet eggs, then fold in the top, bottom and two sides of the egg-ham "pancake" to form a square or rectangle to match the dimensions of the bread. Continue cooking until the eggs are soft but not runny, about 1 minute for a soft set. When you press the egg packet, it should have a little give.
- Step 4
Slide the egg onto the buttered side of one bread slice and sandwich with the other, buttered-side-down. Cut in half into triangles and serve or wrap in foil or wax paper to eat out of hand.
Tip
- The sandwich stays relatively warm for up to 10 minutes, but it’s still good at room temperature and can be held for up to 45 minutes.

H Andress
I like this better than the classic scrambled egg sandwich because it is essentially the same thing, just tidier to eat, all tucked up in a little egg envelope (eggvelope?). Used cheapo shaved ham and cheapo soft white bread and it was a good cheapo breakfast. Consider lightly toasting the bread for some texture.
Ryan
Maybe my skillet was too small, but I had to wait a minute for the egg to set before folding it. I don't like too much run, so I flipped it over before putting it on the sandwich
M. Hastings
I like this on toast. A slice of fresh tomato in the summer is a nice addition.
Collette
Lovely sandwich for lunch. With some homemade or store bought white bread it makes a tasty and satisfying sandwich. The key is definitely not overcooking the eggs so that the sandwich has some moisture.

Eggggcellent little breakfast sandwich: ) I didn’t have ham, so I used 2 slices of ultra thin turkey. Did the rest as written and put on potato bread. I flipped mine over like someone else mentioned as I don’t like runny eggs. Very good!
Mindy
I seriously love these! I make no changes to the recipe, and this is one of my favorite breakfast go-tos now. So quick and easy, travels well.
JS
Fantastic. I let it sit for about 5 minutes before eating and it helped steam/soften the bread. Such a simple, pleasant breakfast.
Danielle
Why does one add sugar to the eggs? I have never seen that before. Can’t wait to try this!

Yummy

What "remaining teaspoon butter"?
Kid Chef
I think I invented this when I was in third grade and in a rush to get out the door to school.

Has anyone tried freezing these to be thawed & warmed in the microwave (by non-cooking family members who want an egg sandwich at midnight). It seems like it would work as well as store-bought frozen egg sandwiches.

the nutritional info for this is wrong...it's based on cutting the sandwich, apparently, into quarters! who's going to eat a 1/4 of a sandwich? not me

Such a great & quick lunch at home. Next time I think it'd just use 1 egg though, it was a bit too thick with 2 eggs.

Works better w/ 11" square nonstick griddle. Could actually use 3 eggs.
why the sugar?
Just used one egg, one slice of ham and one slice of bread, cut in half. Skipped the salt and sugar. Black Forest ham was salty and sweet enough. Made a perfect little breakfast sandwich.

With 2-3 eggs, a square 11x11 inch nonstick skillet works best. I have an Oxo but others should work as well. Nonstick makes it easier in any case.
