Recipe Introduction
One of my favorite grilled sandwiches
List of Ingredients
2 slices of bread
2 teaspoons mustard
3 slices Swiss cheese
3 thin slices ham
1 egg
1 tablespoon milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
pinch cayenne
1 tablespoons butter
Recipe
Spread one side of each bread slice with 1 teaspoon of the mustard. Top each slice with half the cheese, then the ham, then the remaining cheese. Place the remaining bread slices on top, mustard-side down. Trim off any overhanging ham and cheese, but not the crusts. Press sandwich together.
In a medium bowl, stir together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper and cayenne until will blended.
In a large heavy skillet, melt the butter over moderate heat. Dip the sandwich in the egg mixture, turning to coat all sides. Let any excess egg drip off. Place the sandwich in the pan and immediately reduce the heat to moderately low.
Fry the sandwich until golden, shaking the pan once or twice to prevent sticking, 4 or 5 minutes. Flip the sandwiches and fry until golden and the cheese begins to melt, about 4 minutes longer. Transfer to a plate and serve hot.
