Scale
- 8 oz. Brie or D’Affinois cheese, cut into 8 thin slices

- In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Assemble four sandwiches, each with one quarter of the ham and one quarter of the cheese between two slices of bread.
- Heat half of the melted butter in a large nonstick pan on medium heat, swirling to coat bottom of pan. (You can also use a griddle, which might make it possible to make all the sandwiches at once!)
- Dip half of the sandwich quarters into the egg and milk mixture, turning to coat. Immediately place in preheated pan, and cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until bread is golden brown and cheese is melting. Repeat with remaining butter and sandwiches. Cut into halves or quarters. Serve hot.
