1.Prepare the scrambled eggs: In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.

2.Cook the eggs: Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring gently with a spatula, until the eggs are soft, fluffy, and just set (about 3 to 4 minutes). Remove the eggs from the skillet and set aside.

3.Prepare the bread: Lightly spread the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter evenly on one side of each of the four slices of bread. This buttered side will be the exterior of the sandwich.

4.Assemble the sandwiches: Place two slices of bread, butter-side down, on a clean surface. Layer each with half of the cooked scrambled eggs, two slices of ham, and one slice of cheddar cheese. Top with the remaining slices of bread, butter-side up.

5.Toast the sandwiches: Heat a large skillet, griddle, or sandwich press over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwiches in the hot pan or press.

6.Cook until golden: If using a skillet, press down gently on the sandwiches with a spatula or another heavy pan. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until the bread is deeply golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is completely melted and gooey.

7.Serve: Remove the sandwiches from the heat, slice them diagonally, and serve immediately while warm.
