Ingredients
- 3 egg
- 1/2 cup half-and-half or cream
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- pinch nutmeg freshly grated
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 1/8 cup honey
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon thyme chopped, fresh
- 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
- 8 lices white bread good quality
- 1/2 pound ham deli
- 2/3 - 3/4 pound mozzarella cheese fresh
- butter
Instructions
- In a shallow pan, combine the eggs with the half-and-half, salt and pepper and nutmeg. Whisk to combine. Whisk in the parmesan cheese.
- In a small bowl, combine the honey, Dijon, thyme, and lemon juice; mix well.
- Spread the honey mustard on the inside side of the bread slices. Build the sandwiches with the ham and mozzarella cheese.
- Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Melt about a tablespoon of butter on the griddle.
- When the butter is melted, dip the sandwiches in the egg mixture, turning them to coat. Place on the griddle and cook until the sandwiches have browned and the cheese has melted, flipping once to make sure both sides get toasted. (You may need to cover the pan with foil so that the cheese will melt without the sandwich getting too brown.) Cut the sandwiches corner to corner and serve.
- Cut the sandwiches corner to corner and serve.
