Welcome to Sarah's Adventures in Culinary Experimentation

This blog is for posting recipes I've experimented with while teaching myself to cook. Some I have taken from my favorite recipe books, others are purely my own experimentations. My audience is usually just my husband, my toddler daughter, and I and we are living on a tight budget. Sometimes you might find a splurge.

Hopefully you'll find something here that you like!

Spicy Ham, Egg, Cheese, and Spinach Sandwiches

Spicy Ham, Egg, Cheese, and Spinach Sandwiches
 Inspired by a recipe from Food Network.


Ingredients
  • 4 plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise
  • 4 English muffins, split
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 Ham Steak or 1/4 pound of Canadian Bacon
  • 8 cups baby spinach (about 8 ounces)
  • 1 teaspoon Siracha Chile Sauce
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese
  • Salt and Pepper
Instructions
  1. Put the oven on Lo-Broil.
  2. Place the tomatoes skin-side down on a baking tray. Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the tomatoes.
  3. Take the ham and put 4 pieces on the pan with the tomatoes. Place in the oven until cheese is melted and ham is to your preferred texture.
  4. Toast the English Muffins in the toaster (or your preferred toasting method).
  5. In a large pan over medium-high heat, put the 8 cups of baby spinach and 1 teaspoon of Siracha Chile Sauce. Cook down until wilted.
  6. When the Spinach is done, wipe out the pan with a damp paper towel and return to the heat.
  7. Heat one tablespoon of butter and put in two eggs. Cook evenly on both sides, allow for the middle to stay gooey. 2-3 minutes on each side, depending on how cooked you want the middle.
  8. When the muffins have been toasted, take out and put a little bit of butter on the muffin, then sprinkle cheddar cheese on the bottom.
  9. Check the tomatoes and ham.
  10. When the ham is finished, put a slice on the muffin. Then put the egg on the muffin. Then put some of the spinach mixture on top. Salt and pepper to taste.
  11. Repeat for each sandwich that is made.
  12. Put the tomatoes on the side and serve.
