Panera Bread's Monte Cristo Sandwiches
--------------------------------------
8 thick slices bread (we recommend sourdough)
4 teaspoons honey-Dijon mustard
8 slices thinly-sliced Swiss cheese (4 ounces)
8 slices honey-cured ham (4 ounces)
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons water
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons butter
Spread 1/2 teaspoon mustard on each slice of bread. Assemble the sandwich: bread (mustard side up), 1 slice cheese, 2 slices ham, 1 slice cheese, bread (mustard side down). Repeat to make four sandwiches.
Whisk eggs, water, salt and pepper. Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium-low heat.
Dip both sides of the sandwich into egg mixture, lightly soaking bread. Place in skillet and cook until the cheese melts and the sandwiches are golden, about 4 minutes per side. Cut sandwiches in half diagonally and serve (best if topped with powdered sugar and jam).
