BAKED HAM AND CHEESE SANDWICHES
I COLLECT cookbooks and enjoy reading them much like a novel. But when I start cooking, I create my own recipes to suit my taste. I used to cater parties and found I often had to be resourceful. This sandwich is one of my creations, so easy to cook for two and even one! -Norma Curtis, Ithaca, Michigan

Steps:
- Position a rack in the lower third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Place two 2-foot-long pieces of nonstick aluminum foil next to each other so the long sides are just touching. Pinch the edges together and then fold them over several times to seal and form one large piece of foil. Line a rimmed baking sheet with the foil and set aside.
- Crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk well. Add the scallions, 1 teaspoon salt and 2 tablespoons water and whisk to combine.
- Split the whole pack of attached dinner rolls in half horizontally using a serrated knife. Set aside.
- Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the prepared baking sheet and place in the oven to melt, about 3 minutes. Spread the butter all over the foil with a pastry brush and then pour in the egg mixture. Place the attached roll halves cut-side down and side by side on top of the eggs and return to the oven. Bake until the eggs are completely set, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, butter another baking sheet with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Using heatproof mitts, top the rolls with this baking sheet and invert the whole thing. Remove the top baking sheet and peel back the foil. Top half the eggs with the cheese and the other half with the ham. Bake until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
- Using a large metal hamburger spatula, flip the bottom half of the rolls onto the other half, so the rolls are top-side up. Cut or pull the rolls apart. Serve with hot sauce.
BACON, EGG AND CHEESE SANDWICH
For Millie Peartree, a chef and lifelong New Yorker, the bacon, egg and cheese "is everything you need: salty, crunchy, creamy, filling." Because the iconic New York sandwich (which is also known as a "baconeggandcheese" or "B.E.C." when you're in a hurry), is made at thousands of carts and bodegas in all five boroughs, many locals wouldn't think to cook one at home. But if you're desperate for the resuscitation only a B.E.C. can provide, this homestyle adaptation delivers: gooey cheese, crispy bacon and eggs smushed between a buttered roll then wrapped tightly in foil. The only in-person experience you'll miss is waving goodbye to the bodega's owner and cat.

Steps:
- Bring a large piece of parchment paper or foil to the stove. Heat a medium (10-inch) nonstick skillet over medium. Grease the skillet generously with butter. Place one side of the roll in the skillet, cut-side down, and toast until golden, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer the toasted half to the parchment, cut-side up. Repeat with more butter and the other half of the roll. (The second side will take less time, as the pan gets hotter.)
- If you're using beef or turkey bacon, add 1 tablespoon butter to the skillet. Add the bacon and cook over medium until browned and crisp, 2 to 4 minutes per side. As the bacon cooks, press it down with a spatula. (This helps the fat render, producing crunchier bacon.) Turn off the heat and transfer the bacon to the bottom roll. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the fat.
- Pour the eggs into the skillet, season with salt and pepper and set over medium-low. Using a spatula, pull the egg toward the center and tilt the skillet so the egg runs to the empty part of the skillet. Repeat this all around until the surface of the egg is no longer runny but still shiny. Add the cheese on the top, tearing into smaller pieces for even coverage. Cook, undisturbed, until the top of the egg is matte, just a minute. Remove from heat, fold the egg in half, and then in half again. Transfer to the bottom roll.
- Add ketchup and hot sauce as desired, then add the top roll and press down. Wrap in the parchment, smush again, and let sit for a couple minutes for all the elements to steam together. Cut in half and eat.
Tips:
- Choose your bread wisely: For the ultimate baked egg and cheese sandwich, select a bread that's sturdy enough to hold the filling without getting soggy. Artisan breads like sourdough, ciabatta, or French bread work well.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the tastier your sandwiches will be. Opt for farm-fresh eggs, creamy cheese, and flavorful ham or bacon.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When baking your sandwiches, make sure to leave enough space between them so that they can cook evenly. Overcrowding the pan will result in soggy sandwiches.
- Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly: The key to a perfect baked egg and cheese sandwich is gooey, melted cheese. Bake your sandwiches until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness.
- Serve immediately: Baked egg and cheese sandwiches are best enjoyed hot and fresh out of the oven. Serve them immediately with your favorite sides, such as hash browns, fruit salad, or a cup of coffee.
Conclusion:
Baked egg and cheese sandwiches are a delicious and versatile breakfast or brunch option that can be easily customized to your liking. Experiment with different types of bread, cheese, and fillings to create your perfect sandwich. With a little practice, you'll be able to make restaurant-quality baked egg and cheese sandwiches at home in no time.
