Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Bread (thick slices, preferably brioche or challah)
- 4 slices Deli ham
- 2 slices Cheese (Swiss, Gruyere, or Cheddar)
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.33 cup Milk
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
Instructions
1. In a shallow bowl or pie dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
2. Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard (if using) on two slices of bread for added flavor.
3. Layer two slices of ham and one slice of cheese between two pieces of bread to assemble each sandwich, pressing them gently together.
4. Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the pan.
5. Dip each assembled sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated but not overly soaked.
6. Place the dipped sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on the first side until golden brown.
7. Flip the sandwiches carefully and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the second side is golden and the cheese is melted.
8. Remove from the skillet and let rest for 1-2 minutes before serving. Slice in half if desired and enjoy while warm!
