03 Method

Step 1

Make the French toast: In a medium, shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, salt, and nutmeg.
Step 2

In a nonstick skillet set over medium heat, melt enough clarified butter to coat the bottom of the pan. Dip a slice of brioche into the egg mixture, and let rest for about 15 seconds on each side before transferring to the hot pan.
Step 3

Cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a wire rack, then repeat with remaining bread slices. Make the sandwiches: Heat broiler.
Step 4

Spread each slice of warm French toast with as much Dijon mustard as you’d like. Top each piece with three slices of ham and sprinkle with Gruyere cheese. Place on a baking sheet.
Step 5

Broil for about 2 minutes, until ham is toasted and cheese is bubbling and melted. (Keep an eye on the sandwiches; they burn quickly.) Serve warm.
