To buy
- 4 ounces sliced ham
- 2 slices Swiss cheese
From your shelf
- 4 buns brioche style hamburger buns (Nature's Own)
Staples
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 4 eggs
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- Split 4 brioche buns in half and set the oven to 400°F [200°C]. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat, then add the buns cut side down and toast them until golden, about 2 minutes.
- Crack 4 eggs into a bowl, whisk them with a pinch of salt and pepper, then pour them into the same skillet over medium heat while the buns cool. Stir the eggs gently until soft curls form, about 3 minutes, then turn off the heat.
- Top the bottom half of each bun with a piece of Swiss cheese and 1 ounce of sliced ham, then divide the warm eggs among them. Top with the bun caps and press gently.
Note Swap the ham for bacon or skip it entirely for a simpler meal. Leftovers keep wrapped in the refrigerator for one day; reheat gently in the oven. Serve with a side salad or soup to stretch it into a full meal.
