A difference choice for Breakfast - or any time

I just love breakfast for dinner - I don't know if it is the comfort food or just simply I love all the flavors. 

As I was going through my recipe file - I came across this recipe.  I am not sure how long I've had it - but guessing from the card, I've had it since the '80s.  Yes - I am that old...lol.  Well any ways, I thought it sounded very yummy - so I gave it a try. 

I was very happy with the results and I hope you will be too!

French Toast Ham and Cheese Sandwiches
1 - loaf of Italian Bread - sliced
1 - 8 oz. pkg. Ham Slices
1 - 8 oz. pkg. Mozzarella Cheese slices
1/4 cup milk
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg (I prefer to grate fresh)
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup butter
1 cup maple syrup

Fold ham and cheese slices to fit on 6 bread slices; top with remaining bread.

In pie plate with fork, beat milk, eggs, nutmeg, salt and pepper until well mixed.  Dip sandwiches into egg mixture, one at a time, until well coated on both sides.

In skillet over medium-low heat, in hot butter, cook sandwiches until golden brown on both sides, about 15 minutes.  Meanwhile, heat maple syrup (I used the microwave, or you can heat on low heat on the stove top).

Serve sandwiches with syrup.


  
Makes 6 main-dish servings.

Enjoy!
