An egg stack is basically a breakfast sandwich without the bread. I found a non-stick mini pan (with a handle) that is 4.75 inches in diameter. This is perfect for making a 2 egg breakfast stack.

Here it is next to a normal small (8 inch) skillet:

hard cooked eggs flipped over in skillet

eggs in skillet topped with slice of cheddar cheese and Canadian bacon

This egg stack is also wonderful with 1/4 cup Hollandaise sauce poured over it. Here is a link to Julia Child’s traditional recipe: http://www.geniuskitchen.com/recipe/julia-childs-hollandaise-sauce-251332

There are also blender versions, such as this one: https://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/how-tomake-blender-hollandaise-sauce/

Serving Size

1 stack

Ingredients

1 Tablespoon butter
2 large eggs
1 slice cheddar cheese (1 ounce)
1 slice Canadian bacon or ham (0.6 ounce)

Instructions

Melt the butter in a mini fry pan (4.75 inch diameter). If you have a larger skillet, then you need a metal ring about 4.5 inches in diameter and about 1.5 inches tall. Melt the butter inside that ring.
Crack the eggs into the butter. Break the yolks with a fork or point of a knife.
Cook the eggs until the whites and yolks are hard. I usually flip them when the bottom and sides are solid but the top needs a bit more cooking. I cook over low heat, so it takes about 5 minutes before they are ready to flip. Then flip and cook about 1 minute more.
While the eggs are cooking, heat a small skillet. Brown the Canadian bacon on both sides. Remove from heat.
Once the eggs are flipped, put the cheese on top of the eggs. Put the Canadian bacon on top of the cheese. Wait about 1 minute for the cheese to melt a bit. Put a heat proof plate on top of the mini pan and flip it over.
If you are using an egg ring, use a stiff spatula to lift the egg stack, put the plate on top of your metal ring, and flip the plate and spatula over.

Notes

This is also very nice with 1/4 cup of Hollandaise sauce poured over the top.
