I think that Moons Over My Hammy takes the gold, but how about The Super Bird, Lumberjack Slam, and Choconana Pancake Breakfast?

Three Things You May Not Know About Denny’s Slams

• The Grand Slam pays tribute to Hank Aaron. The combo was introduced at an Atlanta Denny’s in 1977 to celebrate the city’s hero, Hank Aaron, who had crushed Babe Ruth’s 714-hit home-run record.
• Denny’s served two million free Grand Slams in one day following Super Bowl XLIII. Denny’s aired an ad during the game, promising an irresistible free Grand Slam to absolutely every customer who came into a Denny’s between 6 am and 2 pm.
• At the now-closed Manhattan Denny’s, you could order a $300 Grand Cru Slam, a special breakfast for two that included a bottle of Dom Pérignon.

The Denny’s Moons Over My Hammy is like an extra-fancy grilled cheese sandwich. By adding ham, scrambled eggs, and a second cheese, you end up with a sandwich full of delights. Serve this up with homemade hash browns or some country fried potatoes, and you have a hearty meal.

Ingredients

Here’s a list of what you need:

• Sourdough bread slices
• Thinly sliced deli ham
• American cheese slices
• Swiss cheese slices
• Eggs
• Milk
• Butter
• Salt
• Ground black pepper

Cheese and Ham Choices

I like to make this sandwich with American cheese that comes from the deli. American cheese has its place, and the deli variety is much better than the cellophane-wrapped kind we often associate with this cheese.

You may want to experiment with honeybaked ham, maple glazed ham, or Virginia baked ham to give this classic breakfast sandwich some extra love.

So, go to the deli and buy exactly what you need. You are going to love this delicious scrambled egg sandwich.

How to Make Moons Over My Hammy

1. In a small bowl, combine the two eggs and milk. Whisk until uniform.
2. Heat a small non-stick skillet over low-medium heat.
3. Add butter to the skillet.
4. Once the butter has melted, add the eggs. Season eggs with salt and pepper.
5. Stir the eggs continually until they have set firm. Remove eggs from the skillet.
6. Wipe out the skillet and place the ham slices in the skillet.
7. Cook the ham for a couple of minutes. Flip the ham with a spatula and cook the other side for an additional 2 minutes. Remove ham from the skillet.
8. Spread butter on one slice of bread and place the bread buttered side down into the skillet.
9. Top bread with two slices of American cheese, eggs, ham, Swiss cheese, and the remaining slice of sourdough bread.
10. Spread butter on the top piece of bread. Cook on low to medium-low heat on each side or until the bread is toasted brown.
11. Cut sandwich in half when serving.
