Croque Madame

Whisk together 2 eggs and the milk until smooth. Trim the crusts from the bread slices. Quickly dip each slice into the egg-milk mixture on both sides, then pan-fry in a preheated skillet for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.

Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard onto the toasted slices. Layer the ham and grated cheese, assemble the sandwich, and bake in the oven at 180°C for 3–5 minutes until the cheese is melted.

While the sandwich is in the oven, fry the egg. Crack the egg into a cold skillet, turn the heat to low, and cook for 3–4 minutes until the whites are set and the yolk remains runny.
