This French comfort-food favorite is a wonderful lunch or brunch entrée, and it is ready in just 20 minutes. This version sticks pretty close to the classic sandwich: a ham and cheese sandwich dunked in egg and then cooked in a skillet until browned and crisped. It’s quick to make and wonderfully satisfying to eat. Pair it with a fresh side salad for a complete meal. If you’re not a fan of honey mustard, feel free to mix plain yellow mustard with the mayonnaise. You can cut each sandwich into four pieces to serve as small bites for use as a bite-sized party appetizer. Your guests will thank you.
