This easy ham and egg sandwich is piled high with tasty ingredients and generously topped with a spicy harissa mayo. It’s a delicious way to start any day or even enjoy for a hearty lunch!
I love a good sandwich. Love it!
Besides ‘bowl’ meals (basically a protein, like chicken, roasted veg and quinoa thrown in a bowl), sandwiches are a staple in our home.
This ham and fried egg sandwich comes together in minutes, so even if you woke up a little later than usual, you could still whip up a delicious breakfast and start the day on the right foot!
The only cooking involved here is to prepare the egg to your liking and toast the English muffin. Other than that, assemble the whole thing and dig in!

Tips for Making this Fried Egg Sandwich
Use the best quality eggs you can get your little hands on.
Speaking of eggs, everyone has a different preference on how they like their eggs cooked. I like my eggs a little runny, but you can cook them to how you like best. Sometimes a runny egg can make for one heck of a mess, so I kinda go in the middle when preparing eggs for a sandwich (not too runny, but not firm). If you like them well done, do that.
Don’t forget to toast and butter those English muffins. It adds crunch, flavour and makes the whole breakfast sandwich that much better.
Rather use Canadian bacon (or as us Canadians call ‘ham’) or bacon (like, bacon bacon) instead of the sliced stuff? Feel free to use either of those instead of the ham.
Not digging the harissa mayo? Hot sauce and a touch of lime juice works lovely with mayo or even some pesto.

Easy Ham and Egg Sandwich
Ingredients
- 3 teaspoons unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 4 slices tomato
- 4 slices red onion , thinly sliced
- 5 ounces black forest ham (about 6 to 8 thin slices or about 140 grams)
- 2 slices jalapeno harvarti (or your favourite cheese)
- 1 handful baby kale (or baby spinach, about 1 loosely packed cup)
- 2 English muffins
Harissa Mayo
- ½ tablespoon harissa paste
- ½ tablespoon mayo
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
Harissa Mayo
- Combine ingredients in a small bowl and stir until smooth and combined.
Easy Egg and Ham Sandwich
- Heat 1 teaspoon of butter in a non-stick pan over medium-low heat.
- Add eggs and cook to desired doneness. I like to leave mine a tad runny. Place on heat, cook for about a minute or two, carefully flip and cook another minute or two until whites are set and yolk is still a little runny (but, as mentioned, you can cook to how you like them).
- Toast English muffins and spread remaining 2 teaspoons of butter between the insides of the muffins.
- On the buttered bottom half of each English muffin, place tomato, onion, ham, egg, cheese and kale. Drizzle with harissa mayo and top with other English muffin half to form each sandwich. Enjoy!
Notes
- I didn’t warm my ham, but you can if you like. Just place in a non-stick pan for a minute or two to heat through..
