A delightful twist on a classic breakfast sandwich, featuring savory layers and fresh ingredients.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the ham slices until lightly browned on both sides.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the ham to achieve a nice sear.
Slice the tomatoes into even rounds and place them on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with grated cheese and broil until the cheese melts.
Keep an eye on the broiler to prevent the cheese from burning.
Toast the English muffins until golden brown.
Use a toaster or oven to achieve your preferred level of crispness.
Spread Dijon mustard on one half of each muffin.
Adjust the amount of mustard to your taste preference.
Assemble the sandwiches by layering a slice of ham, a tomato slice with melted cheese, and a basil leaf on the mustard-spread muffin half. Top with the other muffin half.
Press gently to keep the layers intact while serving.
Serve the sandwiches warm and enjoy.
Pair with a side of fresh fruit or a cup of coffee for a complete meal.
