At least once a week we have a variety of sandwiches for supper.  They are quick and simple, which makes my life much easier.  These fried ham and cheese sandwiches are something you’re going to want to make often because they taste fantastic.  Here’s how I make mine.

By the way, have you tried this Nature’s Own Perfectly Crafted bread yet?  It’s amazing.  A few months ago this bread was the Free Friday Download from Kroger.  Now I actively seek it out at my bread outlet when I’m there.  I love to make my garlic bread with it too.  It’s hearty and slightly sweet, in a good way.

Crack two large eggs into a shallow dish.  Salt and pepper them generously.

Add a 1/4 cup of milk……

Beat vigorously until combined.  Heat your skillet over medium.

Meanwhile, spread your Hellmann’s mayonnaise over the bread in a thin layer.

Draw squiggly lines over the mayonnaise with the mustard…..

Layer on the ham.  Unless you are Olivia and you don’t eat meat…….

Spread the cheese over the ham……

Now you’re ready to dip and fry!

Dip quickly into the egg and milk mixture…..

Gently lower into a buttered skillet…..  

And fry until golden brown on both sides.

Deliciousness on a plate.
