Denver Sandwiches

 

Denver Sandwiches:

4 large Eggs
2 tbsp Milk
3 tbsp Butter or Margarine, divided
4 slices Rye Bread
1/2 cup chopped Ham
2 tbsp finely chopped Chives
Salt & Pepper to taste 
1/2 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese 


Whisk together the eggs and the milk in a medium bowl. Set aside. 
Spread butter or margarine on both sides of each slice of bread. Heat frying pan to medium. Put bread slices into the pan and toast until brown; flip and do the same for the other side. Remove to a plate.
Put about a tablespoon of butter or margarine into the frying pan. Add the egg mixture into the pan. Season with salt & pepper and sprinkle the ham and chives on top. Use a rubber spatula to occasionally stir the egg mixture until cooked all the way through. Remove from heat.
To assemble the sandwiches put 2 pieces of the bread on a plate and sprinkle about 2 tbsp of cheese on each one. Divide the egg mixture between the two slices of bread. Sprinkle about 2 tbsp of shredded cheese on top of the egg mixture on both. Top with another piece of bread. Return each sandwich into the frying pan briefly, just long enough to melt the cheese. Flip and do the same with the other side. 
Slice each sandwich in half and enjoy! Can be served with ketchup or hot sauce if so desired.
