Eggs, spinach, and ham made into an omelet resting on crispy ciabatta bread. Spread pesto on the bread to makes this Ham & Spinach Breakfast Sandwich.
Are you a breakfast eater? I am not really. I prefer to get up and have my coffee then maybe eat an early lunch. However, on the weekends it’s a different story. Weekends are for big breakfasts with the family on Sunday. Eggs, bacon, pancakes, french toast, or omelets. This Ham & Spinach Breakfast Sandwich is the perfect balance of eggs and ham, chewy ciabatta bread and one of my favorite condiments, pesto.
The pesto is really what made this sandwich great. I’ve been growing basil out in my back yard for a few years now so it’s pretty much a staple in our house. Don’t have fresh basil? I find that the store version is good too so don’t get overwhelmed with an extra step if you don’t want to. The other good thing is that this sandwich can be made all in one pan.
This recipe is based on a sandwich I had when my husband and I took a little trip to Toledo & Cleveland last year. While there we stayed at a beautiful hotel, the Hyatt Regency Cleveland at the Arcade. It was a great hotel right across from all kinds of restaurants, shops, and a really cool brewery. It was a great trip! We visited the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and my favorite, The Christmas Story House! I also got to eat a great breakfast sandwich in the hotel restaurant, this Ham & Spinach Breakfast Sandwich. Now on to the food!
How to make a Ham & Spinach Breakfast Sandwich:
Heat up 1 tsp of oil then add the onion. Let soften for 2-3 minutes stirring so they don’t burn.
In a bowl combine the eggs and milk and whip to combine. Now add spinach to the pan. Cook for about a minute to let it soften. Add the eggs on top.
Using a spatula thin out the eggs and cook by pushing the bottom up and letting the egg run under. Cook for about 2 minutes then flip. Now add ham to the other side of the pan.
Heat through for 2 minutes while the other side of the egg cooks. Put ham on top of the eggs. Take the 2 pieces of bread and spread butter on them then place face down in the open section of the pan. Let brown for about 1 minute.
Now time to plate it. Place 1 piece of bread browned side down. Put stacked eggs and ham on top of it.
Add a generous amount of prepared or freshly made pesto to the other slice of bread and put on top.
And here you are…
