aka Roman Style Grilled Ham and Cheese.

This is a cross between a grilled ham (can substitute turkey) and cheese and french toast. I’ve seen recipes that call for adding slices of tomato but I never seem to cook ham during tomato season.

  • 8 slices bread
  • 4 slices ham (or turkey)
  • 4 slices Fontina or Cheddar cheese or a mix
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 Tbs milk
  • 1 pinch of oregano
  • a pat of butter

Assemble sandwiches with ham and cheese.In a pie pan or other shallow dish, beat together eggs, milk, and oregano.Heat a griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Just before placing the sandwiches in, put the butter in and melt. Lay the sandwiches one at a time in the egg mix, giving them time to soak up the mix. Carefully turn them over so the other side soaks some up as well. Place on your griddle and cook until lightly browned on both sides and the cheese is melted. You might need to eat these with a knife and fork.My wife does not eat pork, therefor I seldom get to eat pork.  I have made this with the ham and with turkey breast, both excellent.Enjoy and as always tweak as you like,  just tell me what you did, and how it came out.
