JUDE'S GRILLED HAM AND EGG SANDWICH
I love this sandwich that is a signature dish at Denney's, Moon Over My Hammy. Like most things, it is much more economical to make at home and even, dare I say, better! I originally grilled this in butter, but after reading Dawnab's recipe for Grilled Cheese Diner Style, I will only grill sandwiches in mayo. You can use whichever you like best. This is great for a Sunday morning breakfast with fresh fruit.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your sandwich.
- Choose a good bread. A sturdy bread will hold up well to the fillings and won't get soggy. Some good options include sourdough, French bread, or a hearty whole grain bread.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different fillings. In addition to ham and eggs, you can also add cheese, bacon, avocado, tomato, or anything else you like.
- Season your sandwich well. Salt and pepper are essential, and you can also add other spices or herbs, such as paprika, garlic powder, or onion powder.
- Cook your eggs to your liking. Some people prefer them sunny-side up, while others prefer them over easy or scrambled.
- Assemble your sandwich carefully. Make sure the fillings are evenly distributed and that the sandwich is not too thick or too thin.
