Equipment

  • 1 Skillet
  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 Spatula
  • 1 plate

Ingredients
  

  • 4 slices bread
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 slices ham
  • 4 slices cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • maple syrup for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter to melt.
  • Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
  • Place two slices of bread in the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Remove the bread from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
  • Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet.
  • Place two slices of ham and cheese on two of the cooked bread slices.
  • Top with the remaining slices of cooked bread to form sandwiches.
  • Place the sandwiches back in the skillet and cook until the cheese is melted and the sandwiches are heated through, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Serve immediately with maple syrup, if desired.

Notes

To prevent the bread from becoming too soggy, make sure to quickly dip each slice in the egg mixture and let any excess drip off before placing in the skillet. Additionally, for a crunchy texture, consider using slightly stale bread or toasting the bread lightly before dipping.
