Simple Ham Cheese and Egg Sandwich

Making a simple ham, cheese, and egg sandwich with butter and white bread, especially one that’s kid-friendly, is a delightful and easy task. Here’s a straightforward recipe that will create a delicious meal or snack for the little ones:

Ingredients:

• 2 slices of white bread
• 1-2 slices of ham (depending on size and preference)
• 1 slice of cheese (Cheddar or American works well for kids)
• 1 egg
• Butter (for spreading and cooking)
• Salt and pepper (optional, to taste)

Instructions:

1. Prep the Ingredients:

   • Take the white bread slices and butter one side of each slice lightly. This will be the outside of the sandwich.
   • Lay out the ham and cheese slices so they’re ready to assemble.

2. Cook the Egg:

   • Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium heat.
   • Add a small dab of butter to the pan. Once melted, crack the egg into the pan.
   • For a kid-friendly version, you might want to break the yolk slightly or cook it as an omelet style, making it easier to eat in a sandwich. Season with a tiny pinch of salt and pepper (if using).
   • Cook until the white is set but the yolk is still a bit runny, or to your preferred doneness. Flip the egg carefully if you prefer it well done.

3. Assemble the Sandwich:

   • On one slice of bread (on the non-buttered side), lay down the slices of ham.
   • Place the cooked egg on top of the ham.
   • Add the cheese slice on top of the egg.
   • Cover with the second slice of bread, buttered side up.

4. Cook the Sandwich:

   • Heat a clean skillet over medium heat.
   • Once hot, place the sandwich in the skillet, buttered side down. Press down lightly with a spatula.
   • Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
   • Carefully flip the sandwich, pressing down lightly again, and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the second side is golden brown.

5. Serve:

   • Once cooked, remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Cut into halves or quarters, making it easier for kids to handle and eat.

6. Optional Variations:

   • Feel free to add some veggies like sliced tomatoes or lettuce if your child likes them.
   • A little mayonnaise or mustard inside the sandwich can add extra flavor.

This simple ham, cheese, and egg sandwich is a classic combination that’s both nutritious and appealing to kids. It’s quick to make, and you can adjust the ingredients based on what your child likes or dislikes. Enjoy making this tasty snack!
