Yield Serves 2; can be doubled

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 slices egg bread
4 teaspoons (about) Dijon mustard
4 ounces sliced Swiss cheese
1 large tomato, thinly sliced
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons water
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage or 1 teaspoon dried
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter

Steps:

Arrange egg bread on work surface. Spread each slice with mustard. Divide Swiss cheese and sliced tomato equally among 3 bread slices; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Form 3 sandwiches by pressing remaining bread slices, mustard side down, atop tomato.
Whisk eggs, 2 tablespoons water and sage to blend in medium shallow bowl. Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium-low heat. Dip both sides of each sandwich into egg mixture and place in skillet. Cook until cheese melts and sandwiches are golden, about 4 minutes per side. Cut sandwiches diagonally in half. Transfer 3 halves to each plate.
