• 2 slices thick and crusty sourdough french bread
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 slice Swiss cheese
• 1 slice provolone cheese
• tomato slices
• mayonnaise

Preparation

• Begin by very lightly toasting the bread and butter them on one side each.
• On one slice, spread a thick layer of cream cheese on the unbuttered side.
• On the other slice, spread a layer of mayonnaise on the other unbuttered side.
• Put a slice of Swiss cheese on the cream cheese and a slice of provolone on the mayonnaise.
• Put some tomato on one of the sides and season both with a bit of dried basil and garlic powder.
• Put the two pieces together, tomato and cheese in the middle, pressing down gently to hold together.
• In a shallow bowl, have the beaten egg and put the sandwich in the egg.
• Let soak a few seconds and turn over to soak the other side.
• Heat some butter in a frying pan until hot and fry the sandwich until nice and golden brown on both sides and cheeses are melted in the middle.
• Serve immediately and eat with knife and fork.

Comments

I suggest doubleing the recipe and making a couple, especially if there is anyone around - it will dissappear instantly. Warning: Highly addictive!
