    My sons both agreed this tastes like a french toast, ham and cheese, eggs benedict sandwich; which of course it is.

    Serves 10 (Leftovers are a good thing. These sandwiches are great cold!)

    Step One – Make the french toast.
    20 slices Texas Toast Bread – the thick stuff
    6 eggs beaten
    2 cups milk
    1 tsp cinnamon
    1 tsp nutmeg
    1 tsp ground cardamom
    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Using two baking sheets, melt butter on the pans.
    Soak each slice of bread and place on the warm baking sheet. When the bottoms brown, turn the bread over to brown the other sides. Remove from oven, go to step two.

    Step Two -Assemble the sandwich
    8 ounces grated 4 Mexican blend cheese
    1-1/2 pounds ham -Tear ham into pieces on top of 4 cheese blend
    Top ham with brown sugar glaze, about 1 tsp per sandwich
    8 ounces Guyere Cheese. Top with Grated cheese Guyere
    On the top slice of french toast spread
    1/2 tsp orange marmalade
    1/4 tsp brown mustard
    Place on top and put the whole sandwiches back on the baking pan and into the oven until the cheese has melted. While the cheese is melting, go to step three.

    Step Three:
    Bechemel Sauce
    1/4 cup butter melted in sauce pan
    1/4 cup flour and wisk while it cooks. This should be a white sauce, so do not brown the flour.
    Add two cups milk wisking to blend.
    Add 1 cup grated greyere cheese

    After watching “It’s complicated”, I had to know how to make this! Serve with Green Goddess Salad or Ceasar for a lunch and end with fresh berry dessert or for brunch fresh fruit.

    1 cup whole milk or cream
    3 eggs
    Pinch of ground nutmeg
    8 slices firm white sandwich bread (sheepherders or brioche)
    4 ounces very thinly sliced Black Forest ham
    1/2 cup grated Gruyère cheese
    2 teaspoons chopped fresh chives

    Preparation

    Wisk the cream and eggs together. Soak bread (crust on or off, you decide)and line bottom of the 8 x 8 inch baking pan.
    (add a piece of parchment on the bottom to prevent sticking)
    Layer cheese and chives
    sprinkle ground nutmeg lightly
    Layer ham
    Layer cheese and chives
    top layer of soaked bread.
    Pour remainder of cream over top.
    Bake a 375 for 30-40 minutes in a water bath.
    Great for brunch!
    Cut in squares and diagonally for a good look.
    Serve with Salad. Easy to make and take with you to someone’s house.
    Let them know, you will bring breakfast!
    Add a poached egg and Bechamel sauce and you have Croque Madam.
