Ingredients:

• 4 slices of high-protein bread or gluten-free bread
• 8 slices of ham
• 4 slices of cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or your preferred choice)
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup milk or plant-based milk
• 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Butter or cooking spray for greasing the pan

Instructions:

‍

1. Prepare the Bread and Filling:

Lay out the slices of bread and place a slice of ham and a slice of cheese on half of them. Top with the remaining slices to create ham and cheese sandwiches.

‍

2. Create Egg Mixture:

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, Dijon mustard (if using), salt, and pepper until well combined.

‍

3. Dip and Coat:

Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated. Allow excess to drip off.

‍

4. Cook the French Toast:

Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and grease it with butter or cooking spray. Place the coated sandwiches on the hot surface and cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and the cheese has melted.

‍

5. Serve Warm:

Remove the stuffed French toast from the pan and let them rest for a minute. Cut each sandwich in half diagonally for a visually appealing presentation.

‍

6. Optional Garnish:

Garnish with fresh herbs, a sprinkle of black pepper, or a drizzle of maple syrup for a touch of sweetness.
