Slices of bread should be soaked in beaten egg. In other words, you have to moisten them. So that when you pass them on a hot pan, the bread will harden a little and become crisp. A classic and characteristic contrast of sandwiches.

However, there is one last detail that it would be important for you to know: served with strawberry jam, this sandwich is even better! Believe us, and take this advice.

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons of butter (60 g)
• ½ cup of liquid milk (125 ml)
• 4 eggs
• 4 slices of Swiss cheese
• 8 slices of white sandwich bread
• 8 slices of ham
• 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar (15 g)
• 2 tablespoons of strawberry jam (optional) (40 g)

Preparation

• Place all the slices of white sandwich bread on a large plate. Ideally, you prepare 4 sandwiches in total.
• On each of the slices of bread, you will place both a slice of ham and a slice of cheese on each side of the sandwich.
  
• In a small saucepan or bowl, beat the eggs with the cup of liquid milk.
• Then, immerse in the beaten egg the other slices of bread that do not contain ham or cheese.
• Then use a large griddle or pan that has a smooth surface and place the butter in it.
• Mix it so that it lubricates the bottom as it melts.
• When the butter begins to boil, place the sandwiches. Cook them (turning them over) for an interval of 7 to 10 minutes.
• Finally, when you notice that they have reached their characteristic golden color, take them out of the pan and let them cool for a few seconds.
• Then cut them in half and let the melted Swiss cheese spread. Sprinkle a little powdered sugar and, if you prefer, add jam.
• It’s ready, enjoy!
