Baked Sandwiches
Left over ham from a holiday dinner?

This recipe from our dear friend and neighbor in Fremont, CA, Marilyn Web, is reminiscent of Monte Cristo Sandwiches served at Pirates of the Caribbean in Disneyland.
 
     softened butter or stick margarine
12 slices sandwich bread
 ½ pound Swiss or American cheese, thinly sliced
     prepared mustard
 ½ pound ground cooked ham
  4 eggs
 3 cups milk
½ teaspoon salt
 2 chopped hard boiled eggs, optional
    strips of pimento, optional

Prepare several hours before serving and refrigerate before baking.  

Grease a large (enough to hold 6 slices of bread in one layer without over lapping) shallow pan with butter.  Cut crust off bread and place 6 slices in bottom pan.  Cover with cheese slices and spread with mustard.  Spread ham evenly over top.  Butter remaining bread slices and place buttered side up on top of ham.

Beat eggs slightly.  Add milk and salt.  Pour mixture over sandwiches.  Let stand several hour so mixture is absorbed into bread, cheese and ham.

Bake at 300° for 1 hour.

Cut into 6 squares and dish out with an egg turner or spatula.  Top with chopped eggs and pimento for garnish.
