Ingredients
- 2 slices sourdough bread
- 4 thin slices deli ham
- 1 slices American cheese
- 1 slices Swiss cheese
- 1 1/2 tablespoon butter, divided
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon milk
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk eggs and milk
- Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium heat with a teaspoon of butter
- Once the butter has melted, add the eggs and scramble until cooked through and no longer runny then season to taste with salt and pepper
- Remove the eggs and turn up the heat to medium then flash fry the ham slices for about 15 seconds per side giving them some color and warming them up (turn the heat back down to low when done)
- Butter one slice of bread and put it buttered side down into the skillet and top with one slice of American cheese, eggs, ham, the a slice of Swiss cheese and finally, another buttered slice of bread (you can also use a panini press which I highly recommend)
- Cook on low to low-medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes on each side or until the bread is golden brown, serve hot
Notes
*I love using my panini press to make this sandwich but the frying pan is more universal so I provided those directions.

Can you make this dairy-free?
Yes! All you need to do is switch out the cheese for your favorite dairy-free cheese option (or go without the cheese). You will also want to use dairy free butter and a dairy free milk option.How to store leftovers
Let the sandwich cool to room temperature, then wrap in plastic wrap or in a plastic bag. Keep in the fridge and eat within 4 days.Nutrition
