Cheese and Ham French Toast
Preheat oven to 180C/350F

2 eggs
115ml/4 1/4 fl oz milk
sea salt
freshly ground black pepper
2 slices white bread (3cm/1.25in thick)
2 slices cheddar cheese
2 slices ham, trimmed to fit bread
Mustard
olive oil/butter for frying


Place eggs, milk, salt and pepper into a large bowl. Whisk to combine

With a sharp, thin-bladed knife, carefully slit open one side of each slice of bread to form a pocket. Ensure that you leave 1cm/1/2" around the edges

Spread the mustard on one side of the pocket and place a slice of ham and cheese inside

Put the pockets into a shallow dish. Pour over the egg mixture and leave for five minutes, turning once

Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat, add half of the oil/butter and swirl to coat the base of the pan

Put the bread pocket into the pan and cook on one side for about two minutes until golden brown. Turn add more oil/butter if needed and cook for another minute

Remove from the pan and place on a baking tray. Put in the oven and cook for ten minutes, or until the filling has melted

The C & H French Toast is worth the little bit of extra effort, believe me. There's not much to mess up, but if you do - just pick yourself up and start all over again.
