Ham And Cheese French Toast

Ingredients

• 4 eggs
• 2/3 cup heavy cream (half and half or milk works well too)
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 8 slices firm textured bread
• 2 Tbsp. softened butter or margarine

• 2 Tbsp. prepared mustard
• 4 slices favorite cheese
• 4 slices cooked ham
• Butter for frying

Directions

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Beat the eggs, cream, and salt together in a small flat bowl or pie plate. Spread the tops of the slices of bread evenly with the butter and then the mustard. Top four of the slices of bread with the cheese and ham. Place the other four slices of bread on top of the cheese and ham, mustard-butter side down. Melt some butter in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Dip the first two sandwiches into the egg mixture and coat evenly. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Place the sandwiches on an ovenproof dish and keep warm in the oven. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches, adding more butter if needed, and serve hot.
