French Toast Breakfast Sandwiches
French toast sandwiches stuffed with cheese and cold meat slices like ham make a perfect breakfast or lunch.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 4 slices white bread
- 4 slices ham or Turkish style bacon called pastrami or any cold meat slices you like
- 4 slices mozzarella or cheddar or gruyere cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
INSTRUCTIONS
- Prepare the wet mixture: In a large flat bowl, whisk together eggs, milk and salt.
- Prepare the bread slices: Soak the bread slices into this mixture. Make sure they are well coated.
- Make French toasts: Melt ½ tablespoon of the butter in a non-stick pan. Place two of the egg and milk mixture coated bread slices into the pan. Fry both sides for a minute. Don’t let them cook completely. Transfer them onto a plate. Melt ½ tablespoon butter in the pan and repeat the same steps for the remaining two bread slices.
- Make Sandwiches: Melt the remaining butter in the pan. Place two half-fried bread slices in the pan. Put 2 slices of cheese and 2 slices pastrami or ham on each slice. Place the other two bread slices on these. Fry until brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side or until the cheese melts. Press down with a spatula firmly when frying.
- Serve immediately.
NOTES
- When making the French toasts, don't fry them completely. We are going to give them a second cooking after turning them into a sandwich. So just cook the bread slices partly.
- Alternatively, you can make your sandwich first and dip it into egg and milk mixture and then fry in the pan.
