Croque M'Sieur

This is a variation of French toast with added nutritional and flavour
benefits.

8 slices of bread
4 eggs
1 cup of milk
1 tsp of oil
mustard
8 slices cheese
8-12 slices shaved ham
fried onions (optional)
pickle slices (optional)

To serve 4, use 8 slices of bread. Whisk 4 eggs in 1 cup of milk in a flat pan.
Heat a frying pan on medium heat with 1 tsp of oil. Place the bread to prepare
sandwiches. Spread your favourite mustard lightly on the inside surface of each
slice. Place 1 slice of cheese on the bottom slice of each sandwich. Add 2 or
three slices of shaved ham and then another slice of cheese. Place the second
slice of the sandwich on top. Place the sandwich in the egg/milk mixture and
spoon more of the mixture on the top to soak in. Place the sandwich in the
frying pan, cover and let the bottom brown. Turn and cover to brown the other
side. If your frying pan is large enough, you can do 2 sandwiches at the same
time. Be adventurous and try adding fried onions after the ham - or pickle
slices. You would usually eat this with a knife and fork but rugged individuals
may eat it slightly cooled from the hand.
