Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Grease 4 round ramekins with cooing spray and place on a cookie sheet. Crack one egg into each ramekin.

Sprinkle each egg with a pinch of salt and lightly beat just so yolk is broken.

Bake the eggs for 12-15 minutes, until set and cooked through. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Run a knife along the edges of each egg to remove them if needed.

Place an english muffin half in front of you, top with 1 slice of cheese, 1 slice of ham, and 1 egg, then top with the other english muffin half.

Repeat with remaining ingredients to make 4 sandwiches.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Toast Muffins Butter-Side Down 🧈
Butter the cut sides of your English muffins and toast them butter-side down in a skillet for a golden, crispy exterior that won't get soggy from the egg and cheese.
Cook Eggs in Ring Molds ⭕
Use a metal ring mold or egg ring to keep your fried eggs perfectly round and compact, ensuring they fit snugly on the muffin without overhang or spillover.
Pre-warm the Cheese 🧀
Place your cheddar cheese slice directly on the hot egg while it's still cooking so it melts evenly into the yolk, creating a creamy, integrated layer rather than a cold slice.
Warm Your Ham Gently 🍖
Lightly toast or warm your deli ham in the same skillet for 20-30 seconds per side to enhance its flavor and bring it to serving temperature without drying it out.
Season Eggs Before Cooking 🧂
Sprinkle kosher salt directly onto the egg white (not the yolk) just after it hits the pan to season it properly throughout, as salt added at the end won't distribute evenly.
