Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Egg Mixture

    In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.

Assembly

  1. 2

    Layer the Sandwich

    On two slices of thick white bread, layer 2 oz of honey ham, 1 slice of American cheese, 2 slices of sweet and sour pickles, 2 oz of shaved pastrami, 1 oz of pickled onions, and 1 slice of Swiss cheese. Top with the remaining slices of bread.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Sandwich

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp of butter over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwich in the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Flip the sandwich and add the remaining 1 tbsp of butter. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.

  2. 4

    Add Egg Mixture

    After flipping the sandwich, pour the prepared egg mixture over the top of the sandwich, allowing it to cook slightly before flipping again to ensure the eggs are cooked evenly.

Serving

  1. 5

    Serve

    Remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice in half, and serve warm.
