HAM OMELET SANDWICH

Steps:

• In a small bowl, beat eggs, sugar and salt with a fork until blended but not frothy.

When the butter melts, add the eggs and scramble for 5 seconds with a silicone spatula, then spread in a thin, even layer. Lay the ham over the wet eggs, then fold in the top, bottom and two sides of the egg-ham "pancake" to form a square or rectangle to match the dimensions of the bread. Continue cooking until the eggs are soft but not runny, about 1 minute for a soft set. When you press the egg packet, it should have a little give.
• Slide the egg onto the buttered side of one bread slice and sandwich with the other, buttered-side-down. Cut in half into triangles and serve or wrap in foil or wax paper to eat out of hand.
