Take a third slice of bread and spread cheddar cheese over it. Then place this slice under the first two stacked slices.
Step 3
In the hole you cut out, gently add a piece of chicken ham, being careful not to break it. Sprinkle some shredded mozzarella cheese over the ham.
Step 4
Crack an egg on top of the ham and cheese. Season with a little salt and pepper. If you like, add some extra cheese around the edges.
Step 5
You can also spread some cheese on the cut-out bread circle for extra cheesiness.
Step 6
Bake everything at 180°C (350°F) for about 10 minutes, until the outside is crispy and the inside stays soft.

Serve warm and enjoy your delicious breakfast sandwich!
