Cooking Ingredients

Method

Preparation of Egg Mixture

  1. 1

    Whisk the Egg Mixture

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 2

    Layer Ingredients

    Take two slices of brioche bread. On one slice, layer the shaved ham followed by the white cheddar and swiss cheese. Top with the second slice of bread to form a sandwich.

Coating and Cooking

  1. 3

    Coat the Sandwich

    Dip the assembled sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated.

  2. 4

    Heat the Pan

    In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

  3. 5

    Cook the Sandwich

    Once the butter is melted and bubbling, place the coated sandwich in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve with Toppings

    Remove the sandwich from the skillet, let it cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar. Serve with maple syrup on the side.
