Ingredients
  

  • 2 slices white bread (or fluffy milk bread)
  • 2 slices ham thin cut
  • 2 tablespoon butter softened

Egg Mixture

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl or measuring cup, crack eggs and add chicken bouillon powder. Whisk eggs for at least 30 seconds until well combined and smooth. This is important as it creates a smoother egg texture.
  • Grease a small 8 inch non-stick with 1 tablespoon butter, absorbing any excess with paper towel. Heat pan over low heat (level 3/10 on the dial). Do not raise heat any higher.
  • Pour half the portion of eggs into the pan, quickly sweeping it with a spatula to one side of the pan. Keep sweeping until the egg solidifies and holds shape. Then on the other side of the pan, pour the remaining eggs. Allow this to cook until the egg forms an edge. Then carefully flip that omelette on top of the other one as best as you can. Then fold the sides in to create a square. Fry on the other side for 5 minutes over low heat. This process creates a layered effect.
    Alternatively for an easy non-layered effect: simply scramble the entire portion of the egg mixture in the pan and shape into a square omelette but you won't get the layered effect.
  • Warm up your ham by placing it on the hot pan and warm for 30-45 seconds and no more or you'll dry it out. Optional: if you want your bread toasted, you can toast the bread on the pan until golden brown.
  • Spread remaining butter on both slices of bread from edge to edge. Assemble your sandwich. Slice the crusts off the sandwich with a sharp bread knife (optional). Enjoy warm!
