Dijon Croque Monsieur


Get real Swiss cheese (preferably Gruyere) and shave off pieces - it's expensive but the nutty taste makes this sandwich really special.  I prefer Honey Mustard but Dijon is good too.  I used Cracked Wheat Sourdough but if you can't find that, regular Sourdough is great.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons whole-grain Dijon mustard or Honey Mustard
  • 2 tablespoons fat-free mayonnaise
  • 8 (1-ounce) slices bread
  • 6 ounces thinly sliced ham
  • 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Gruyère cheese
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ cup egg substitute or 1 egg
  • ¼ cup fat-free milk
  • Cooking spray

Directions

1. Combine mustard and mayonnaise in a small bowl. Spread mustard mixture over each of 4 bread slices; layer 2 slices with 1 1/2 ounces ham and 1/4 cup cheese. Sprinkle evenly with pepper. Place remaining bread slices, mustard side down, on top of sandwiches.
2. Combine egg and fat-free milk in a shallow dish. Dip both sides of each sandwich into the egg mixture.
3. Heat a large nonstick griddle or skillet over medium heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add sandwiches to pan; cook 3 minutes on each side or until lightly browned and cheese melts.
