Ham and Swiss Egg Sandwiches

We actually did this breakfast sandwich for lunch today. I was expecting great things and was a little let down. The english muffin was a little dry which made the sandwich difficult to eat. Husband suggested he spray them with cooking spray before broiling them and I think if we make these again we will. The thing that makes these sandwiches worth it is that Thing 1 ate it and liked it. It was a little fat for his little hands and mouth so his bites ended up being huge. We made mine with just egg whites since I think I may be mildly allergic to the egg yolk and after my first bite was lacking in flavor I grabbed a few leaves of fresh basil and put them on it. I think the basil did add a nice touch but still couldn't make me love this dish. I give it a 3 out of 5, husband gave it a 4 out of 5 and when Thing one was asked how much he liked it he said "40 minutes". So 40 minutes out of 5 stars it is.
