Time 55m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 slices multigrain brown bread
1/3 cup Dijon mustard
4 ounces gruyere cheese, sliced
3 ounces ham, sliced
6 eggs
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/3 cup whole milk
4 tablespoons cheddar cheese or 4 tablespoons emmenthaler cheese
Worcestershire sauce, a good sprinkling

Steps:

Spread the mustard on the bread slices and make sandwiches with the fine slices of cheese and ham; place each slice of cheese against the mustardy bread, and the ham between them.
Make the sandwich and cut each one in half, making two triangles.
Squish the sandwiches into a baking dish, approx 10 ½ inches x 8 ¼ inches and 2 ¼ inches deep.
Beat the eggs, salt, and milk together; then pour over the sandwiches tightly packed into the dish.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and leave in the refrigerator overnight.
In the morning, preheat oven to 400°; take the dish out of the refrigerator and remove plastic wrap.
Sprinkle over the grated cheese and Worcestershire sauce; bake for 25 minutes.
