Ham and Swiss Egg Sandwiches......Let's Have Breakfast for Dinner!

Who loves Breakfast?  I do.  Who loves Breakfast for Dinner?  I do.  So, for this month's Cooking Light Virtual Club, I chose the theme of Breakfast foods for dinner.  There's just something fun about breakfast at dinnertime.  It can be savory, salty, sweet or a combination of all these flavors.  Breakfast foods are usually quick to prepare which makes it perfect for those busy nights.  

I love eating eggs, prepared anyway and anytime.  This ham and swiss egg sandwich appealed to me because I usually eat eggs in between toast or a biscuit.  Sometimes, I'll sneak some bacon or a sausage patty in my egg sandwiches.  This is a healthier version.  It was super good.  Easy over egg, sauteed ham slice and swiss cheese....yummy!

Ham and Swiss Egg Sandwiches

Recipe by Cooking Light

Ingredients

         Cooking spray (or butter)

        4 ounces thinly sliced lower-sodium deli ham

        4 large eggs

        4 English muffins, split and toasted (I used Honey Wheat)

        4 (1-ounce) slices Emmentaler or Swiss cheese

Preparation

         1. Preheat broiler to high.

        2. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat the pan with cooking spray. Add ham to pan; sauté 2 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from pan. Recoat pan with cooking spray. Crack eggs into pan. Cover and cook for 4 minutes or until desired degree of doneness.  (I made my eggs over easy and I used butter in the pan instead of cooking spray) Remove from heat.

        3. Place 4 toasted muffin halves, cut sides up, on a baking sheet. Top each half with 1 cheese slice. Broil for 2 minutes or until cheese melts. Divide ham among cheese-topped muffin halves; top each with 1 egg and 1 muffin half.

        Note:  I put a small amount of butter on the toasted English Muffins.  Also, the cheese melted much quicker than 2 minutes so check your oven when you melt the cheese.

I hope you enjoy the rest of the breakfast menu from the other members of the Cooking Light Virtual Supper group.
