A delightful twist on the classic grilled cheese and ham sandwich, combining the richness of French toast with the savory goodness of ham and cheese.
In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Ensure the eggs are fully beaten for an even coating.
Melt half of the butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking.
Spread the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard on one side of two slices of bread.
Spread evenly for consistent flavor.
Layer the ham and cheese on the other two slices of bread.
Ensure the cheese is fully covered by the bread to prevent it from melting out.
Close the sandwiches by placing the prepared bread slices together, filling side in.
Press gently to secure the fillings.
Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, coating both sides evenly.
Allow excess egg mixture to drip off before cooking.
Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook until golden brown on one side, about 3-4 minutes.
Cook on medium heat to ensure even browning.
Flip the sandwiches, add the remaining butter, and cook until the other side is golden brown.
Press gently with the spatula for a crispier texture.
Serve the sandwiches warm, optionally with a side of fresh fruit or salad.
Cut the sandwiches diagonally for an appealing presentation.
