A delightful twist on the classic fried sandwich, featuring a blend of cheeses and a crispy golden crust.
Spread the mustard evenly over one side of each bread slice.
Using a butter knife makes spreading the mustard easier and more even.
Layer the cheddar cheese, gruyere cheese, and ham on four slices of bread, then top with the remaining bread slices, mustard side down.
Press the sandwiches gently to ensure they hold together during frying.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Ensure the mixture is well combined for even coating.
Heat the cooking oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
Test the oil temperature by dropping a small piece of bread into it; it should sizzle.
Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring all sides are coated.
Let excess egg mixture drip off before frying to avoid splattering.
Fry the sandwiches in the hot oil, two at a time, until golden brown on both sides, turning carefully with a spatula.
Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even frying.
Drain the fried sandwiches on absorbent paper and serve warm.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
