French Toast Croque-monsieur
Ingredients
- 2 to 3 Eggs
- 1/4 Cup Buttermilk
- 2 Tablespoons Dijon Mustard
- 4 Tablespoons Butter
- 6 Ounces Ham, sliced
- 6 Ounces Gruyere Cheese, sliced
- 8 Slices Firm White Bread
Instructions
Lightly beat together the egg and the buttermilk and pour into a shallow dish. Dive the mustard among the bread slices, spreading a thin coat on each. Dive the ham and cheese equally, placing pieces on 4 of the bread slices. Top with remaining bread slices. In a skillet, heat one tablespoon of the butter over medium-low heat. Handling carefully, dip each sandwich into the beaten egg and place in the skillet, doing just one sandwich at a time. Cook to golden brown on each side, [2 to 3 minutes a side] turning only once. Use an additional tablespoon of butter in the pan for each sandwich. Keep sandwiches in a low oven to melt the cheese further before serving.
