Grilled Egg, Ham & Cheese Sandwiches

Here's a quickie recipe for a Friday night, or that Saturday afternoon football game!   Would probably also be good for breakfast.  This recipe makes 4 sandwiches.

Grilled Egg, Ham & Cheese Sandwiches.

Ingredients

4 tbl. butter

1 tbl. olive oil

1 large onion, sliced into rings

4 eggs

10 slices Swiss cheese, cut in half

12 thin slices of ham

8 slices of Italian or sourdough bread

1 additional tbl. of butter

salt & pepper to taste

1 tbl. Parmesan cheese

For Mustard sauce:  1 tbl. brown mustard, 1 tbl. mayonnaise, 1 tbl. yogurt

Directions

·         In a small skillet, heat the butter & olive oil over medium heat until melted

·         Add the onions, cook & stir for about 4-5 minutes until softened and just beginning to brown.  Then remove & drain on paper towels, reserving the butter/olive oil mixture for later

·         Lightly beat each egg separately in small bowls

·         Melt 1 tbl. butter in a small skillet over medium heat and cook the eggs (separately) for about 1 minute on each side

·         Sprinkle the eggs with salt & pepper and set aside

·          Brush one side of each slice of bread with the mustard sauce

·         Layer one side of each sandwich with 3 ham slices and 5 Swiss cheese slices, and top with the egg

·         Put the sandwich together and brush the outside with the rest of the olive oil/butter mixture

·         Sprinkle each sandwich with a little Parmesan cheese

·         Fry in an ungreased pan on both sides until lightly browned, turning once (we use a George Foreman grill for this instead of a skillet, but both will work)

·         Serve hot with a side of our Baked Potato Fries and some of Tom's World Famous Dill Pickles!
