Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the egg mixture

    In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

  2. 2

    Assemble the sandwiches

    Layer the sliced ham and Swiss cheese between two slices of bread to make two sandwiches.

  3. 3

    Dip the sandwiches

    Carefully dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated but not overly soaked.

  4. 4

    Grill the sandwiches

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the dipped sandwiches and cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once cooked, remove from the skillet, sprinkle with powdered sugar, and serve with maple syrup on the side.
