Ham and cheese on French toast

French toast was always a favorite of mine.  My mom made great French toast.  She didn't make it very often, but it was a treat when she did.  She would add cinnamon sugar to the egg/milk wash, and she would t whip the egg/milk/sugar/and cinnamon mixture up until it was frothy.

When she made the sandwich, however, she did not use the cinnamon or the sugar.

To make this great supper to serve with soup of any kind, you need:

Eggs (2 for four sandwiches)
Milk about 1 cup (for four sandwiches)
bread
ham
cheese

Preheat your pan or pancake griddle so that butter melts but does not turn brown

Put together the sandwiches: on  a slice of bread (your choice of white, wheat, whole grain, etc) put one piece of thinly sliced boiled or baked ham and one slice of American or Swiss cheese, then cover that with another slice of bread.  Using tongs (mom used baby-bottle tongs--the things she stuck in boiling water to get the bottles out of the water after being sterilized) grab the sandwich further over than the middle (so that the sandwich doesn't flop open) and quickly dip the sandwich in the egg wash.  Note:  you can get a nice pair of tongs at Krogers.

Put on prepared grill/pan.  After the first side sizzles (about one minute) turn it over and grill the other side until browned (about one minute).

Eat with a couple of pickles on the side, and a cup of soup.

DELISH!
