Ingredients

8 slices of French Bread

4 slices of ham

4 slices of Swiss cheese

Butter Dijon mustard

Freshly ground black pepper

1.  Spread bread generously with butter, then spread a little mustard on 4 slices and top with ham, cheese, black pepper to taste.

2.    Press sandwiches together firmly and trim crust, if you like.  Cut into two triangles or leave whole.

3.  Melt a generous amount of butter in a skillet over medium heat.  Add sandwiches and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden.  Drain on paper towels and serve hot.

Variation:

If you like, the sandwiches can be dipped into a mixture of 2 beaten eggs and ½ cup  (125 ml) milk before frying

    I’ve never really enjoyed Grilled Ham and Cheese, just like Starpisces, but I guess it’s worth trying again…
