Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes

Arrange 4 slices of bread on a work surface and spread each with 1/2 tablespoon of mustard. Top with cheese and ham. Spread 1 1/2 tablespoons of cranberry sauce on 4 remaining slices of bread and arrange on top, sauce side down.

In a shallow dish, lightly beat eggs.

Melt butter in two large skillets over medium-low heat. Carefully dip one sandwich in eggs, coating both sides, then place it in a skillet. Repeat with remaining sandwiches, arranging 2 sandwiches in each skillet. Cook until sandwiches are golden brown, cheese is melted, and egg is cooked, 3 to 4 minutes per side.

Serves 4

Note: You can substitute your favorite jam or jelly for the cranberry sauce—raspberry, strawberry, grape, or even marmalade would all be good.
