I am sure that this has an official name, but I do not know it. It is just like making french toast, but with two slices and filling inside. It is really easy and can be made healthy by adding good for you 'stuff'.
Grilled Cheese Sandwich the French Toast Way
2 large eggs
1/4 cup milk, any fat
plenty of freshly ground pepper or freshly chopped herbs such as rosemary, oregano
4 slices sturdy whole wheat bread, halfway dry
'Stuff': sliced meat, fresh spinach, good melting or bad melting cheese, ...
Whisk eggs, milk and pepper or herbs in a large shallow bowl (you can also use a large dinner plate).
Place 'stuff' between the two slices of bread and apply any spreads (such as pesto, mustard,...). Now put the other slice on top and dip the sandwich into the custard, just like if you were making french toast. You want the bread slices to absorb some the custard. Set aside on a plate and repeat with the other two slices.
Preheat a 10 or 12 inch skillet with a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over low heat until the oil is simmering. Put the soaked sandwich into the pan and cook for a couple of minutes per side or until the cheese melts.
