Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 very thick slices of sourdough bread
  • 2 slices cheddar cheese
  • 2 slices ham
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • pinch nutmeg
  • pinch salt

Instructions

  • Make a slice into the side of each slice of bread to create a little pocket. Stuff the pockets with cheddar cheese and ham, being careful not to overstuff the pockets and tear the bread.
  • Whisk together the eggs, milk, nutmeg and salt in a big bowl. Place the bread into the bowl and soak on one side for 7 minutes, then flip over and let soak for another 7 minutes.
  • Set a frying pan greased with butter to medium heat. Place the bread on one side and cook for 3-4 minutes. Flip over and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, then turn off the heat and place a lid on the frying pan. Steam the bread in the pan for 5 minutes, then serve!

Notes

Storage Directions

At room temperature - This sandwich should not be stored at room temperature.
In the refrigerator - Place any leftover French toast sandwiches into an airtight container or bag before refrigerating. They will keep for up to two days. You can reheat them in the microwave or by placing them in a nonstick pan over low heat and flipping them occasionally until they’re heated thoroughly.
In the freezer - French toast sandwiches are best when made fresh, and I don’t recommend freezing them. The thawing process will negatively affect the textures and flavors.
