Best Grilled Ham Egg And Cheese Breakfast Sandwiches For A Crowd Recipes

HAM EGG AND CHEESE GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the top and bottom of the waffle iron or coat with nonstick spray. Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium high heat. Add eggs whisking, until they just begin to set; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Continue cooking until thickened and no visible liquid egg remains, about 3-5 minutes; set aside. Working in batches, place bread into the waffle iron. Top with cheese, ham, egg mixture, additional cheese and remaining bread slices. Close gently and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 3-4 minutes. Serve immediately.

HAM, EGG, AND CHEESE BREAKFAST SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Split English muffins and lay on a sheet pan.
• Rub butter into each cavity of a 12-cup muffin tin, then crack an egg into each cavity. Break the yolks unless you want them runny.
• Place the English muffins and eggs in the preheated oven on separate racks. Toast the muffins until golden brown, about 3 minutes, then remove. Bake the eggs until set, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Lift eggs out of the pan with a spatula and place on English muffins. Top with ham and Cheddar cheese. Serve hot.

ONE-PAN HAM, EGG AND CHEESE BREAKFAST SANDWICH

Steps:

• Place a 9 1/2- to 11-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat and preheat for 2 to 3 minutes. Spray the skillet for about 2 seconds with cooking spray, then cook the ham or Canadian bacon on each side until hot and lightly browned. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
• Place the bread in the skillet to toast for about 30 seconds on each side. Set aside.
• Spray the skillet again with cooking spray until very well coated, about 5 seconds. (You can also substitute melted butter for the cooking spray if you like.) Whisk the eggs in a small bowl and pour into the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to low and allow the egg to firm up, about 1 minute. While the top of the egg is still wet, place both slices of bread in the center next to each other. The egg will firm up around them.
• Flip the entire round of egg with the bread stuck to it. Now the 2 slices are covered by the egg and it will look like an omelet from the top. Fold the edges of the egg over the bread, leaving them still connected to the the bread slices. Top the bread slice on the left with the cheese. Top the other bread slice with the ham or Canadian bacon, folding or overlapping slightly if necessary to fit inside the bread. Once the egg is set, gently fold the right slice of bread over the other to close the sandwich. Slide the sandwich onto a plate and, voila, you have a perfect breakfast sandwich.

BAKED HAM, EGG AND CHEESE BREAKFAST SANDWICHES FOR A CROWD

Steps:

• Position a rack in the lower third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Place two 2-foot-long pieces of nonstick aluminum foil next to each other so the long sides are just touching. Pinch the edges together and then fold them over several times to seal and form one large piece of foil. Line a rimmed baking sheet with the foil and set aside.
• Crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk well. Add the scallions, 1 teaspoon salt and 2 tablespoons water and whisk to combine.
• Split the whole pack of attached dinner rolls in half horizontally using a serrated knife. Set aside.
• Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the prepared baking sheet and place in the oven to melt, about 3 minutes. Spread the butter all over the foil with a pastry brush and then pour in the egg mixture. Place the attached roll halves cut-side down and side by side on top of the eggs and return to the oven. Bake until the eggs are completely set, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, butter another baking sheet with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Using heatproof mitts, top the rolls with this baking sheet and invert the whole thing. Remove the top baking sheet and peel back the foil. Top half the eggs with the cheese and the other half with the ham. Bake until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
• Using a large metal hamburger spatula, flip the bottom half of the rolls onto the other half, so the rolls are top-side up. Cut or pull the rolls apart. Serve with hot sauce.

GRILLED HAM AND CHEESE SANDWICH

Steps:

• To assemble the sandwiches, butter both sides of each bread slice. Lay ham and cheese on one slice and cover with the another slice. Trim the crusts off the sides.
• Heat a saute pan over medium-low heat, then fry the sandwiches until the cheese starts to melt and the sandwiches are golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side. You may need to add more butter to the pan.
• Remove the sandwiches to paper towels to drain, let them cool for 1 minute, then cut into quarters diagonally and serve 3 quarters each per serving.

GIANT GRILLED CHEESE FOR A CROWD

Steps:

• Put 1 baking sheet on the center rack of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
• Slice 1/4-inch of the crust off the top and bottom of the loaf of bread. Split the loaf evenly in half, horizontally. Cut a piece of parchment paper large enough to accommodate both halves of bread and put both the top and the bottom on the parchment, cut-side up so the inside of the loaf is visible.
• Scoop about a 1/4-inch of the soft middle of the loaf out. Spread the mayonnaise evenly on the crustless top of each half, then flip them over so the mayonnaise-side is face down on the parchment.
• Evenly distribute the 3 cheeses between the 2 bread halves. Use the parchment to transfer your grilled cheese to the preheated baking sheet, using a spatula if the bread is sticking, then remove and discard the parchment. Bake until the crust is golden brown and crunchy and the cheese is melted, about 18 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately sandwich the 2 halves with the cheese in the middle. Let rest about 10 minutes. Slice and serve while hot.
