Croque-Monsieur Like French toast

For Garnishing (Optional):

• Fresh parsley, chopped
• Powdered sugar for a sweet-savory contrast

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Custard Mixture

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, salt, Dijon mustard, and black pepper.
2. Ensure the mixture is smooth and well-combined for a rich custard base.

Step 2: Assemble the Croque-Monsieur Filling

1. Take one slice of bread and layer it with a slice of ham and a slice of cheese.
2. If desired, spread a thin layer of béchamel sauce on top of the cheese for added creaminess.
3. Place another slice of bread over the filling to create a sandwich.
4. Repeat for the remaining slices of bread, ham, and cheese.

Step 3: Dip the Sandwiches in the Custard

1. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt the butter.
2. Dip each sandwich into the custard mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated. Allow the excess custard to drip off before placing it in the skillet.

Step 4: Cook the French Toast

1. Place the sandwiches on the hot skillet and cook until the bottom is golden brown and crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
2. Carefully flip each sandwich and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes, ensuring the cheese is melted and gooey.
3. Lower the heat if needed to avoid burning while ensuring the custard is fully cooked through.

Step 5: Serve the Croque-Monsieur Like French Toast

1. Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for 1-2 minutes.
2. Garnish with chopped parsley for a touch of freshness.
3. For a creative twist, lightly dust the French toast with powdered sugar to enhance the sweet-savory balance.
