Breakfast
Written By Ana Hale

Ingredients

  • 1 loaf Cuban bread or a soft French baguette

  • 4 large eggs

  • 4 slices sweet ham

  • 4 slices cheddar cheese

  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened

  • 1 tablespoon milk

  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. Cut the loaf in half lengthwise and spread butter over the cut sides.

  3. Place the bread cut-side up on a baking sheet. Bake for 10–15 minutes, or until golden and toasty.

  4. Whisk the eggs with the milk, salt, and black pepper.

  5. Melt a little butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the eggs and gently scramble until just set.

  6. Remove the toasted bread from the oven. Layer the ham, scrambled eggs, and cheddar cheese on the bottom half.

  7. Return the open sandwich to the oven for 2–3 minutes, just until the cheese melts.

  8. Add the top half of the bread, press gently, and cut the sandwich into portions.

  9. Serve hot with café con leche

Hi, I'm Ana

I'm so glad you're here.

If there's one thing I hope you discover while you're visiting this little corner of the internet, it's that no matter what season you're walking through, you never have to walk through it alone.

I'm a faith-inspired author, speaker, and encourager with a passion for helping women find hope, healing, and peace through life's challenges. My faith has carried me through seasons of joy, loss, waiting, and unexpected turns, and those experiences have shaped both my life and my writing.

I wrote Always Enough because I wanted to share my story honestly—the struggles, the healing, and the incredible faithfulness of God through it all. My prayer is that every reader walks away encouraged, knowing they are deeply loved and never beyond God's grace.

Here on my website, you'll find more than books. Through Coffee & Grace, I share reflections, devotionals, and practical encouragement for everyday life. Whether you're looking for hope, a reminder of God's promises, or simply a quiet place to pause for a few minutes, I hope you'll feel at home here.

When I'm not writing, you'll usually find me with a cup of coffee in hand, spending time with my family, working on a quilting project, or enjoying the beauty of God's creation. I believe some of life's sweetest moments happen in the ordinary, where God gently reminds us that His grace is more than enough.

Thank you for being here and allowing me to be part of your journey. I hope you'll stay awhile, explore, and come back often.

Grace & Peace,

Ana Hale
