Gooey Ham and Cheddar Cheese French Toast

Who can resist gooey, oozing cheese? That's what I love about this Ham and Cheddar Cheese French Toast recipe. It's one of my favorite stuffed French toast variations—simple yet incredibly satisfying for breakfast or lunch.

French toast is almost everyone's favorite for a reason. It's easy to make with pantry staples, and its versatility means it can be sweet or savory, depending on your mood. At its core, French toast is sliced bread soaked in beaten eggs and often milk or cream, then pan-fried. It goes by many names and has several variants, including eggy bread, Bombay toast, gypsy toast, and poor knights (of Windsor).

For a sweet twist, sugar, vanilla, or cinnamon are commonly added before pan-frying, and it can be topped with sugar (often powdered sugar), butter, fruit, or syrup. As a savory dish, it’s usually fried with a pinch of salt or pepper and can be served with sauces like ketchup or mayonnaise.

This Ham and Cheddar Cheese French Toast is a savory delight that will fuel your day, bringing back childhood memories of hearty, comforting breakfasts. Here's how you can make it:

Ingredients:

  • 2 slices of thick-cut bread
  • 2 slices of cooked ham
  • 2 slices of cheddar cheese
  • 2 small eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • A pinch of sea salt
  • Unsalted butter for frying

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs, then add milk, ground cinnamon, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix until well combined.
  2. Assemble the Sandwich: Place a slice of cheddar cheese and a slice of ham between two pieces of bread to make a sandwich.
  3. Dip the Sandwich: Carefully dip the sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated. Let the bread soak up the mixture for a few seconds.
  4. Fry the Sandwich: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of unsalted butter. Once the butter has melted and is slightly bubbling, place the sandwich in the skillet.
  5. Cook Until Golden: Cook the sandwich for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until both sides are golden brown and the cheese has melted. Press down gently with a spatula to help the cheese melt evenly.
  6. Serve Hot: Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before serving. Enjoy your gooey, cheesy Ham and Cheddar Cheese French Toast!
