What You’ll Need: Ingredient Breakdown

Here’s your quick grocery list:

• 3 large eggs — We want ’em fluffy and rich.
• 1/4 tsp kosher salt + 1/4 tsp white pepper — Simple seasoning that lets the egg shine.
• 3 tbsp butter (divided) — One tablespoon for the bread, the rest for the skillet.
• 2 slices of bread — Go classic with white or wheat, or upgrade to sourdough.
• 1 slice cheddar cheese — Sharp, melty, golden.
• 2 slices deli ham — Thin and savory, warms up beautifully in the pan.

That’s it. No weird ingredients. Everything probably lives in your fridge already.

Step-by-Step Instructions: One Pan, Zero Stress

this recipe

1. Crack and Beat the Eggs: Crack 3 large eggs into a bowl. Add 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp white pepper. Whisk until smooth and slightly frothy.
2. Heat Your Skillet: Place a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tbsp of butter and let it melt, coating the pan evenly.
3. Butter the Bread: While the pan heats up, spread the remaining 1 tbsp of butter onto one side of each bread slice.
4. Add the Eggs: Pour the beaten eggs directly into the skillet. Let it sit for a few seconds until it starts to set at the edges.
5. Place the Bread on Top: With the buttered sides facing up, place the bread slices on top of the eggs. Let everything cook for about 2 minutes.
6. The Flip: Carefully use a wide spatula to flip the whole thing. The eggs should now be on top, with the bread crisping underneath. Fold any extra egg inward over the bread.
7. Add Ham and Cheese: Layer the deli ham on one slice, then top it with cheddar cheese. Fold the other slice over like a sandwich.
8. Final Toast: Let it toast for another 2-3 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula, until golden brown and melty.

Serve hot. Try not to burn your mouth diving in too fast.

French Toast-Inspired Version (Optional Twist)

Here’s where things get decadent:

Instead of just buttering the bread, dip each slice into the egg mixture—like French toast—before laying them in the skillet. It adds a soft, custardy center and crispy outside. Perfect for brunch vibes.

Everything else stays the same, but the flavor? Oh boy.

TikTok Egg Sandwich Trend: Yes, This Is It

This sandwich isn’t just tasty—it’s famous.

The viral TikTok egg sandwich involves pouring eggs in the skillet, flipping them with the bread already on top, and then folding it up into a neat little package. That’s basically what we’re doing here. It’s trendy, it’s satisfying, and it actually works.

So if you’ve seen it online and wondered if it lives up to the hype? It does.
