Dad’s Denver Sandwiches

Yield: 2 sandwiches

Ingredients:

  • 3 large Eggland’s Best eggs
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons whole milk
  • about 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 slices egg bread
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped ham
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped green bell pepper
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • ketchup, optional

Directions:

  1. Whisk together the eggs and milk in a medium bowl.  Set aside.
  2. Add about 1/2 tablespoon butter to a large sauté pan.  Heat to medium.  Add two slices of bread and heat until toasted.  Add another 1/2 tablespoon of butter, flip the bread and toast the other side.  Remove to a plate.  Repeat with the remaining two slices of bread.
  3. Heat another tablespoon of butter in the pan.  Add the ham, bell pepper and onion, and sauté a couple of minutes- until softened.  Add the egg mixture and sprinkle cheese on top.  Sprinkle salt and pepper.  Let the eggs cook until lightly browned underneath.  Then take a rubber spatula and drag them around until cooked all the way through.  Remove from heat.
  4. Assemble the sandwiches- divide the egg mixture between two slices of bread.  Add ketchup, if desired.  Top with the other piece of bread, slice in half and enjoy!
