Simple Croque Monsieur Sandwich

Ingredients List

• 4 tablespoons softened butter, divided

• 6 slices white bread

• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

• 12 slices thin deli ham

• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

• 6 slices Swiss cheese

• 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour

• ½ teaspoon baking powder

• ¼ teaspoon salt

• 2 eggs

• ¼ cup water

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

1. Spread 2 tablespoons of butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread. On three slices, add a layer of Dijon mustard on top of the butter and place 4 slices of ham. On the other three slices, spread mayonnaise on the butter and top each with 2 slices of Swiss cheese. Press the ham and cheese sides of the sandwiches together.

2. In a shallow dish, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, eggs, and water until well combined. Set aside.

3. Heat the remaining butter and vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Dip both sides of each sandwich into the egg mixture, then fry in the oil and butter until golden and crisp, flipping to ensure both sides are browned.
