Preparation

Arrange 4 slices of bread on a work surface. Spread with mustard. Top with alternating slices of ham and cheese, folding to fit the bread.

Cover with remaining bread.

Beat eggs and milk in a dish.

Melt half the butter in 2 large skillets over medium heat.

Dip both sides of the sandwiches in the egg mixture.

Brown the sandwiches over medium heat about 4 minutes on each side, adding the remaining butter halfway through.

Cut each sandwich in 2 triangles and serve with maple syrup and fresh berries.

Tips

An electric pancake griddle is also good for making Monte Cristo sandwiches.
