Instructions

  1. 1

    Step 1

    Spread mustard or mayonnaise on four slices of bread.

  2. 2

    Step 2

    Place one thin slice of ham on each of two slices of bread.

  3. 3

    Step 3

    Place a slice of cheese on the ham. Cover the sandwiches with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side down.

  4. 4

    Step 4

    Trim the edges of the sandwiches with a wavy knife — this will improve the appearance and help the bread absorb the egg mixture better.

  5. 5

    Step 5

    Lightly beat the egg with milk and salt.

  6. 6

    Step 6

    Dip the sandwiches in the egg mixture, holding them in it for about 30 seconds so the bread is well soaked.

  7. 7

    Step 7

    Heat the butter in a pan over medium heat.

  8. 8

    Step 8

    Fry the sandwiches for approximately two minutes on each side. Flip them carefully using two spatulas. After flipping, gently press the sandwiches with a spatula so the halves stick together better.

  9. 9

    Step 9

    Transfer the sandwiches to a board and let them cool for a minute.

  10. 10

    Step 10

    Cut the sandwiches with a serrated knife into triangular halves and serve hot.
