Ingredients
| 8 Slices GadouaTM Moelleux Thick Sliced White Club Sandwich Bread | |
| 2 Granny Smith apples—peeled, cored and thinly sliced | |
| 1 Cup Water | |
| 1/4 Cup Maple syrup | |
| 1 3-inch cinnamon stick | |
| 2/3 Cup Milk | |
| 2 Large eggs, beaten | |
| Dijon mustard | |
| 6 oz. Sliced Gruyère cheese | |
| 1/2 lbs Thickly sliced smoked ham | |
| 1-2 Tbsp. Unsalted butter |
Instructions
| 1 | Place thinly sliced apples, water, maple syrup, and a cinnamon stick into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Turn down to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender. Using a spoon place the cooked apples into a bowl and set aside to cool. |
| 2 | In a small bowl, whisk together milk and eggs. |
| 3 | Place 4 slices of Gadoua® Moelleux Thick Sliced White Club Sandwich Bread on a cutting board, evenly spreading mustard on each slide, topping with cheese and ham. |
| 4 | In a medium-sized skillet add 1 tbsp. of the butter and melt on medium to low heat. Dip the bottoms of the 4 topped bread slices in the beaten egg mixture, and place in skillet. Dip the remaining slices of bread in the egg mixture on 1 side only, placing the soaked side up. Cover the skillet and cook over moderately low heat until the bread is browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes. |
| 5 | Remove lid, flip the sandwiches and add more butter to the skillet if necessary. Cover and cook until the second side is browned and the cheese is melted, about 3 minutes longer. Transfer the sandwiches to a cutting board and let stand for 5 minutes. Cut sandwiches in half and serve with a side of maple apples. |
