Ingredients

Scale

Sandwich Components

  • 2 English Muffins
  • 2 Frozen Shredded Hash Browns
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 slices Ham
  • 2 slices Cheese
  • Oil for frying hash browns

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Toast Muffins: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Slice the English muffins in half and place them on a baking sheet with the cut sides facing up. Bake for 5-6 minutes or use a toaster to toast them until lightly browned.
  2. Keep Muffins Warm: After toasting, sandwich the muffin halves back together to trap steam and keep them warm and soft while you finish the other components.
  3. Cook Hash Browns: Heat oil to 375°F (190°C) and fry the frozen shredded hash browns for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Alternatively, bake according to package instructions or crisp them in a frying pan with a bit of oil on medium heat. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  4. Cook Eggs: On medium heat (medium-low if using cast iron), cook the eggs for 3-4 minutes until the whites are set. For less runny yolks, flip for over-easy cooking and cook for an additional 40 seconds.
  5. Cook Ham and Melt Cheese: In the same pan, cook the ham slices until well browned. Turn off the heat and place slices of cheese on top of the ham, allowing the residual heat to melt the cheese without burning it.
  6. Assemble the Sandwich: Stack the toasted English muffin halves with the crispy hash browns, cooked eggs, ham, and melted cheese. Serve immediately and enjoy your hearty breakfast sandwich!

Notes

  • For a healthier version, bake the hash browns instead of frying.
  • Use your preferred type of cheese such as cheddar, American, or Swiss.
  • To add extra flavor, consider adding a slice of tomato or a layer of sautéed spinach.
  • Ensure eggs are cooked to your liking for best taste and food safety.
  • This sandwich can be customized with different deli meats or vegetarian alternatives.
