Easy Ham and Egg Omelet Sandwich

This easy breakfast sandwich is super simple and quick to prepare. If you had ham for dinner the night before, this is a perfect way to use up any left overs. 



Easy Ham and Egg Omelet Sandwiches:
6 eggs, beaten
cooked ham, cut into cubes
peppers, chopped
onion, finely chopped
salt and pepper
dash of water or milk
Toast, 2 per sandwich you are making
Slice of cheese, 1 per sandwich

Ketchup, optional (you cannot have eggs without ketchup in this house!)



Line a square casserole dish with parchment paper,
leaving extra hanging over the sides
Place the ham, pepper and onion into the dish, on top of the parchment paper.
In a bowl, beat the eggs with a little milk or water and season with salt and pepper.
Pour over the ham, peppers and onions.






Bake until the eggs are fully cooked. About 30 minutes.
Remove from oven and let cool a few minutes.
Loosen edges with a knife then pull the side flaps of parchment paper up to remove the entire omelet.
Slice into squares the size of bread.
Place a slice of cheese on a piece of toast, then an egg square, a dash of ketchup then another toast and Voila! Breakfast is served!





Using this method you can come up with so many omelet possibilities. Broccoli and cheddar cheese, tomato and basil, mushrooms and sausage. Anything you can think of!

Cooking with Eggs!

My mom sends parcels sometimes to me by train. The other day she asked me to pick one up. My husband went into get it, then the next thing I know is my moms was at my window asking me what took so long to get there!! It was such a wonderful surprise, I went from freaking out there was someone yelling at me in my car window to crying my eyes out in joy!
While she was here, she made us some great breakfasts where eggs were the main attraction. Being horrible at cooking eggs, these were a sure treat!

The first I'm going to share with you is a new recipe she has perfected which she was taught by a new friend of hers, Maria. Its a take on Egg Frittata.

6 eggs
a splash of water
cooking spray
1/4 cup chopped peppers
1 small zucchini sliced in half moons
1 small onion, chopped
2 slices of ham, chopped
salt and pepper

1. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and water together. Set aside.
2. Coat fry pan with cooking spray then add peppers, zucchini, and onion in pan, season with salt and pepper. Cook on medium for about 1-2 minutes or until they are cooked lightly. Add the ham.
3. Pour eggs onto the veggies, cover and cook about 4-5 minutes.
4. Flip the egg and cook an additional 2 minutes to brown the other side.
5. Place a plate over the pan and flip onto plate. Cut and serve.


The other egg creation mom made us was Ham and Egg Baskets. You can make 24 all done at the same time in muffin tins so its perfect for a Sunday breakfast!

cooking spray
24 eggs
about 12 slices of ham lunch meat, cut in half
1 medium tomato, chopped;
1/2 cup shredded cheese

1. Spray muffin tins with cooking spray.
2. Place ham into tin like a muffin liner. Add tomatoes and cheese. Crack egg on top.
3. Bake 10-15 minutes depending on how well you want the yolk cooked.
4. Scoop basket out and serve.




It was great having my mom here to visit. She left to go home today and we all miss her already. I cannot wait for her to come back and visit again!
