Ingredients (serves 4)

6 eggs

50ml milk

pinch of salt; dash of pepper

8 slices bread

4 large slices/8 small slices of ham

4 cheese slices/100g grated cheese

5g butter

Oil (to fry)

Method

Whisk the eggs with the salt and pepper, using a fork and taking care not to whisk too hard. Preheat oven to 180C Cut slices of bread in half; triangular; crusts off, whichever you prefer. Grease a baking tray with butter Begin dipping the pieces of bread in the egg and frying them – don’t bother cooking them fully, just fry for a few seconds each side As you cook each piece, lay it on the baking tray and top with ham, then cheese (or cheese, ham, cheese…) When you have your ‘sandwiches’ all made, put the tray in the oven and cook for 15 minutes, or until the outer surface is golden and the cheese is oozing out

Goes great with barbecue sauce, strangely. Try topping each piece with grated cheese if you really hate your arteries.
