French Toasted Ham Cheese Recipes

Steps:

• Beat together eggs, cream and salt in pie plate.
• Spread tops of the slices of bread evenly with the butter, then the mustard.
• Top four slices of the bread with the cheese and ham.
• Place other four slices on top and dip into the egg mixture.
• Place sandwiches in preheated skillet with butter added and cook each side until golden brown.
• If cooked in batches, keep warm in oven until all sandwiches are done.

Steps:

• Line up 8 slices of bread on a work surface.
• Heat a small saucepot over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons butter and melt. Add flour to the butter and whisk together. Cook flour and butter together for 1 to 2 minutes, then whisk in half-and-half or milk. Bring sauce to a bubble and thicken another 1 or 2 minutes. Season sauce with salt, then whisk in prepared Dijon mustard.
• Heat a large nonstick griddle or skillet over medium heat.
• Spread each slice of bread with Dijon bechamel sauce and build 4 sandwiches with 2 or 3 slices of ham and 2 slices of cheese per sandwich. The Dijon bechamel sauce will help hold the meat and cheese in place. Make slices of ham and cheese rest flat; do not pile the meat or cheese. Butter the tops of the 4 sandwiches and set onto griddle or grill, buttered side down. Butter opposite side of each sandwich while the first side is grilling. Toast sandwiches 4 minutes on each side, turn with thin spatula. Serve with cornichons, pickled onions and extra Dijon mustard to pass at table.

Steps:

• Heat the grill to high. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cheese and chives. Melt the butter in a large non-stick pan over a medium heat. Dip slices of bread into the egg mixture, then place them in the pan. Cook for 3-5 mins on each side, or until golden and crisp, then keep warm in a low oven if you need to.
• Place the vine tomatoes on a baking tray, drizzle with a little oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until they start to soften and blister. On a large platter, pile up the cheesy French bread, grilled tomatoes, sliced ham and a pile of watercress, and let everyone dig in.

Steps:

• Spread the inside of each slice of bread with prepared mustard.
• In a shallow dish combine the milk eggs, salt and pepper; whisk to combine thoroughly.
• Make 6 sandwiches layering 1 slice ham, 1 slice turkey and 1 slice cheese (can use more more).

• Brown in the skillet.

Steps:

• Mix mayo and mustard; spread onto bread slices. Fill bread slices with ham and process cheese.
• Whisk egg and milk in shallow dish until blended. Dip sandwich in egg mixture, turning to evenly moisten both sides.
• Cook in skillet on medium heat 5 min. on each side or until cheese is melted and sandwich is golden brown on both sides.

Steps:

• In shallow dish, stir milk, Bisquick mix, vanilla and eggs with fork or whisk until blended. In each slice of bread, cut 3-inch pocket through top crust. Spread about 1 teaspoon mustard in each pocket. Place 1 oz ham and 1/4 cup cheese in each pocket.
• Heat griddle or skillet over medium heat (350°F); melt butter on griddle. Dip bread in egg mixture, coating both sides. Place bread on hot griddle; cook about 5 minutes, turning once, until golden brown.
