Breakfast Sandwich - Egg, Ham and Cheese Toasted Sandwich

During the school year, we are always looking for a fast and easy breakfast. What a joy it is when it can also be scrumptious and nutritious.

When our children were in elementary school, their pediatrician recommended eggs for breakfast. He believed protein was a necessary part of a students diet and would satiate their appetite until lunch.

My entire family refers to my husband as the Sandwich Chef. He really does make the best sandwiches in the world. Today I will share our household’s favorite breakfast sandwich. We call it a Breakfast Buddy Sandwich. We named it that because we can make it and easily carry it along with us when we are on the go.

While I usually made these sandwiches for our children, my husband gets complete credit for creating the first masterpiece.

The Right Egg Turner

Finding the right egg turner can be as difficult as seeking a lost treasure.

I personally prefer a spatula that is light weight, has a thin stainless steel blade and an easy grip handle. I also prefer one that is wide enough to actually hold a fried egg for turning without breaking the yolk.
