A quick one-pan sandwich where shredded cheese melts into a crispy base, eggs cook right on top, ham adds savory flavor, and bread seals everything into a golden, oozy package. Perfect for busy mornings.

Notes
Best eaten fresh; reheat leftovers in a toaster oven.
Use medium heat to prevent the cheese from burning.
Freshly shredded cheese melts more evenly than pre-shredded.
Keep yolks intact by avoiding heavy pressing while cooking.
