Looking for a quick and easy, yet crowd-pleasing, treat for Sunday morning? You’ll have nothing but happy faces around the brunch table when you serve up these devilicious treats. And they take just a few minutes to create.

The credit for this scrumptious breakfast combo goes to an old school friend. One summer vacation morning, the two of us assembled scrambled eggs, ham, and cheddar cheese on an English muffin, and slid the whole assembly under the broiler. And so, a fantastic breakfast (or lunch, or dinner, or late night snack) was born.

 

Ingredients (4 muffins)

2 English muffins

2 tbsp butter

4 slices ham

4 eggs, beaten

3 oz (85g) cheddar cheese, grated

 

1. Split the English muffins into four halves. Toast them and spread 1 tbsp of the butter on the toasted muffin halves.

2. Melt half of the remaining 1 tbsp butter in a frying pan and add the ham slices. Fry the ham over medium heat for about 1 minute per side, until lightly browned. Place on the buttered muffin halves.

3. Add the remaining butter to the frying pan and cook the eggs over medium-low heat. Stir and fold the eggs over until you have softly cooked (still wet and just beyond being runny) scrambled eggs. Spoon the eggs over the ham.

4. Pile the grated cheese on top of the scrambled eggs.

5. Place the assembled muffins on a baking tray and slide under the broiler for 3-4 minutes, until the cheese is nicely melted.

That’s it! In under 10 minutes you have a breakfast muffin that gets your day off to a devilishly happy start.
