Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 slices French bread, 1/2 inch thick
1/4 lb shaved or very thinly sliced cooked ham
3 slices (3/4 oz each) Gruyère or Swiss cheese, cut in half
3 eggs
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
Powdered sugar, if desired
3/4 cup strawberry syrup

Steps:

  • Top 6 slices of the bread evenly with ham and cheese, folding to fit. Top with remaining bread slices.
  • In small bowl, beat eggs, milk and granulated sugar with fork or wire whisk until well mixed; pour into shallow bowl.
  • In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat butter over medium-low heat. Dip each side of each sandwich in egg mixture, allowing time for bread to soak up mixture. Add sandwiches to skillet. Cover; cook 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve with syrup.
