Frühstück.
Mein Lieblingsfrühstück ist ein Sandwich. Es hat Eier, Schinken, und Käse. Ich brate die Eier mit Butter und ich stelle die Butter auch auf dem Brot. Die Käse ist scharf Cheddar. Die Schinken ist knusprig. Manchmal stelle ich auch Spinat auf dem Sandwich. Zusammen schmecken sie sehr lecker.
My favorite breakfast is a sandwich. It has eggs, ham, and cheese. I fry the eggs with butter, and I also put the butter on the bread. The cheese is sharp cheddar. The ham is crispy. Sometimes I also put spinach on the sandwich. Together they taste very delicious.

Mein Lieblingsfrühstück ist ein Sandwich.
Es haist mit Eier, Schinken, und Käse.
Es ist mit Eier, Schinken, und Käse.
Better: Ich mache/mag es mit ....
"haben" is not completely wrong, but I would then write : Es hat Eier, .... als Belag.
Ich brate die Eier mit Butter und ich stellreiche die Butter auch auf dem Brot.
Ich brate die Eier mit Butter und ich streiche die Butter auch auf dem Brot.
You can "stellen" the butter only if it comes fresh from the fridge and is still hard like a stone. I just imagine a slice of bread and a block of butter standing on top of it ... In practice, the butter must be at least soft enough that you can apply it like a thin covering to the bread. This is "streichen".
Yet another possibility was often applied by my late mother: She wasn't patient enough to wait until she can do "streichen", so she cut with the knife small slices of butter (perhaps 3-4 mm thickness) and placed them onto the bread. If you are doing this, it is still not "stellen", but it would be legen.
With "stellen", you have the idea of putting something in an upright position. For instance, placing a bottle of wine onto the table in the normal way would be "stellen". But if you would put it there horizontally (not recommended - don't do this at home!), it would be "legen".
Die Käse ist scharfer Cheddar. Die Käse ist scharfer Cheddar.
Not wrong, but we would be more specific here. Cheddar is rarely eaten hot and spicy, so if it it, it typically contains chili. In German, you would then say "Chili-Cheddar".
Also, "ist" is not wrong, but not a good word choice either and sounds a bit childish in this context. Since you choose the cheese, it's more natural to write "Als Käse nehme ich ...".
Dier Schinken ist knusprig.
Der Schinken ist knusprig.
Here too, I would not use "ist", but write i.e. "Der Schinken muss knusprig sein".
However, "knusprig" does not go well with "Schinken". A "Schinken" is typically soft or sometimes hard.
The closest thing similar to "Schinken" which could be "knusprig" would be bacon, when you fry it in a pan. This would be "der Frühstücksspeck" or short "der Speck", but in this case you should say explicitly that you are frying it, because otherwise we have to guess why it is "knusprig":
Manchmal stelllege ich auch Spinat auf demas Sandwich.
Manchmal lege ich auch Spinat auf das Sandwich.
Zusammen schmecken siet (all) das sehr lecker.
Zusammen schmeckt (all) das sehr lecker.
We don't have anything in the previous sentence where "sie" (plural) could refer to. The most recent plural word would be "Eier", but this is too many sentences back to act as a reference, and doesn't make sense with "zusammen". If you use the demonstrative pronoun "das", it is understand to refer to "all that what you have mentioned in the last or in the last few sentences", i.e. all the ingredients together taste well. Still, it is a bit unclear, because "das" could also refer to "Sandwich", and then "zusammen" would again ruin the meaning. My suggestion would therefore be to write "all das", or write it as: "Alles zusammen schmeckt sehr lecker".
BTW, since this is not a very sophisticated meal, "lecker" can be used, but be careful not to use it as a synonym for "tasty". I suggest that you get early the habit of using "sehr gut", if you want to express that something is tasty, and i.e. "ausgezeichnet" or "hervorragend", if you want to express that something is extraordinary tasty. Doing so avoids the danger of misusing the word "lecker".

Vielen dank! I really appreciate the detailed feedback again. "Stellen" and "legen" have felt basically the same to me, but that's just from learning on duolingo, which focuses on just practicing translation rather than explaining nuances. I also do sometimes get impatient and just put cold butter on bread though lol
I was trying to say that the cheddar was a sharp cheddar. I'm not sure whether there's a specific word for that in German. I'm using google translate to fill in the blanks for words I don't know, and it doesn't always give the best results.
I do fry the ham so it gets a bit crispy around the edges. I admit I got a little lazy with this entry and was just trying to think of different things to say.
Yeah I was trying to say something like "Together they all taste very delicious". I thought the plural "sie" would make that clear, but "all das" definitely sounds clearer.

I have asked my AI about the meaning of "sharp cheddar", and it said that it is not a general English, but specific US-American term, meaning "mature cheddar". This would be "reifer Cheddar" oder "alter Cheddar" in German.
