Instructions
- Place the slices of bread on a board.
- On two of the slices, spread a thin layer of mustard, followed by the strawberry preserves.
- Place two slices of cheese on top of the strawberry preserves, on each of the bread slices.
- Divide the ham between the two slices of bread.
- Place another slice of cheese on top of the ham.
- Spread butter on the remaining slices of bread, and place each one on top of the sandwich.
- Gently press down on each sandwich to flatten it slightly.
- Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat with a little oil or butter.
- While the pan is heating, whisk the two eggs with the milk and a pinch of salt in a flat container.
- When the pan has heated, place a sandwich in the egg mixture for about 5 seconds on each side. Carefully place the egg coated sandwich in the pan. Cook each side for about 4 - 5 minutes until golden brown, and the cheese has melted.
- If the sandwiches turn brown before the cheese melts, don’t worry! Preheat the oven to 300°F, and place the sandwiches on a baking pan lined with parchment paper. Toast the sandwiches in the oven for about 5 - 10 minutes until the cheese melts.
- Once the sandwiches are ready to serve, place each sandwich on a plate and cut them in half using a serrated knife. Dust the tops with confectioner’s sugar and serve with extra preserves and maple syrup.
