This dish was inspired by the question 'what happens when you dip a ham sandwich in French toast batter?' The answer turned out to be toasty, crunchy deliciousness. For extra oomph, add slices of Swiss cheese.

Steps

15 minutes

1

Make your sandwiches. I used 2 slices ham and 3 slices tomato in each. If desired, add slices of Swiss cheese. Just be careful not to overfill or your sandwiches will be hard to handle. Press the edges of the sandwiches down firmly to seal.
2

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, a splash of water and a few grinds of black pepper. On a platter, combine the panko with the parmesan cheese.
3

Add a splash of olive oil to a large nonstick pan on medium heat. Dip your sandwiches in the egg mixture, then flip them around in the panko until coated. Fry the sandwiches for 4 to 5 minutes per side until golden and crunchy. Slice and enjoy while hot.
