GRILLED HAM, EGG AND CHEESE BREAKFAST SANDWICHES FOR A CROWD



Grilled Ham, Egg and Cheese Breakfast Sandwiches for a Crowd image

Why stay stuck in the kitchen when you can grill breakfast for a crowd instead? Not only are these pull-apart sandwiches easier to make outdoors, they are deliciously gooey and satisfying. Trust us: When you flip one side of the sandwich over onto itself, there will be lots of oohs and ahhs.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 12 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 8

10 large eggs
4 scallions, finely chopped
Kosher salt
One 12-pack pull-apart dinner rolls
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
6 slices American cheese
4 slices deli ham, finely chopped
Hot sauce, such as Tabasco, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium heat.
  • Place two 2-foot 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.
  • Put the prepared baking sheet on the grill and add 1 tablespoon of the butter. Cover the grill and let the butter melt, about 3 minutes. Spread the butter all over the baking sheet using a pastry brush and then pour on the egg mixture. Place the attached roll halves cut-side down and side by side on top of the eggs and cover the grill. Cook 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 onto the grill. Remove the top baking sheet and peel back the foil. Top half the eggs with the cheese and the other half with the ham. Cover the grill and cook 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. Serve with hot sauce.

Yield Makes 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 slices sourdough or white bread
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 cups grated mozzarella
1 1/2 cups grated Gruyère
1/2 cup grated aged goat cheese (such as Midnight Moon from Cypress Grove Chevre)
3/4 cup Bread-and-Butter Pickles
3 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Smear both sides of bread slices with mayonnaise. Combine cheeses in a bowl. Sprinkle 4 slices bread with half of cheese mixture, dividing equally. Top each with 3-4 pickles. Divide prosciutto among sandwiches; top with remaining cheese. Cover with remaining bread.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in each of 2 large heavy skillets over medium-low heat. Add 2 sandwiches to each skillet and cook until bread is golden, 9-10 minutes. Add 1 tablespoons butter to each skillet, flip sandwiches, and cook until bread is golden and cheese is melted, 9-10 minutes longer.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for fresh, flavorful bread, high-quality deli ham and cheese, and ripe tomatoes.
  • Spread mayonnaise or butter on the bread to help hold the sandwich together and add flavor.
  • Add your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles.
  • If you're using a thick-sliced bread, you may want to toast it before assembling the sandwich. This will help prevent the bread from getting soggy.
  • Serve the sandwich immediately or wrap it in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for later.
