My husband wants to do this almost every day! They are so delicious that I make them 4 times a week..

Ingredients

• 8 slices of thick-cut bread (like brioche or sourdough)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)
• 1½ cups grated Gruyère cheese (or Emmental/Cheddar as alternative)
• 2 large eggs
• ¼ cup milk
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Prep the Sandwiches:
   Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each bread slice. On the unbuttered side, optionally spread some Dijon mustard.
2. Add Cheese:
   Sprinkle a generous amount of grated cheese on four slices (on the unbuttered side). Top each with another slice, buttered side out, to form sandwiches.
3. Make Egg Mixture:
   In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, a pinch of salt, and pepper.
4. Dip & Cook:
   Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Dip each sandwich briefly into the egg mixture, coating both sides.
5. Grill:
   Place sandwiches in the skillet and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 3–4 minutes per side. Press lightly with a spatula to ensure even browning and melty cheese inside.
6. Serve:
   Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot with a side salad, tomato soup, or pickles.

Would you like a variation with ham, herbs, or tomato added inside?
