Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 4 ounces smoked ham, thinly sliced
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons green onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 soft sandwich buns
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
Directions
Step 1
Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, turn off the heat, cover, and let the eggs sit for 10 minutes.
Step 2
Drain the hot water from the saucepan and replace it with cold water to stop the cooking process. Once cool, peel the eggs and chop them into small pieces.
Step 3
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, green onion, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to create the egg salad.
Step 4
Preheat the broiler on high and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Step 5
Slice the sandwich buns in half and spread the cut sides with softened butter. Place the buns, buttered side up, on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Broil the buns for 1-2 minutes, or until toasted and golden brown. Watch closely to avoid burning.
Step 7
Remove the buns from the oven and layer each toasted bun with a slice of ham, a generous scoop of egg salad, and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
Step 8
Return the assembled buns to the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-broiling.
Step 9
Serve immediately while warm and melty, and enjoy these savory, cheesy delights!
