Kind of like French toast filled with ham and cheese, sprinkled with powdered sugar, and topped with maple syrup. Sweet and salty at its best. It's so easy too.

Easy Sweet and Salty Breakfast Sammie cut in half.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

These sweet and salty breakfast sandwiches are a delicious way to start the day. They're similar to a Monte Cristo sandwich; basically, a ham and cheese-filled French toast. The sandwich is a wonderful blend of sweet, savory, and salty. When griddled, the bread is soft, but the egg mixture gets a little crispy. Inside is ham and gooey melted cheese. Topped with sweet powdered sugar and maple syrup bring this breakfast sandwich to another level.

How To Make easy sweet and salty breakfast sammie

Step 1

Preheat a griddle or skillet to 350 degrees. Place each piece of ham and cheese inside two pieces of bread, making 4 sandwiches.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, beat eggs and milk.
Step 3

Spray the heated cooking surface with nonstick cooking spray and then place butter evenly over the cooking surface to melt.
Step 4

Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, coating both sides.
Step 5

Place each on top of melted butter.
Step 6

Grill on both sides, flipping, until golden brown.
Step 7

Serve with a sprinkling of powdered sugar.
Step 8

Drizzle with warm maple syrup. I eat mine without sugar and syrup sometimes, too.
