Instructions

• Pre-heat the oven to 400F.
• Lay the sliced of bread on a baking sheet.
• Brush each side of each slice of bread with a little bit of melted butter.
• Once the oven is preheated, toast the sliced of bread in the oven for about 2 minutes. Flip the bread and toast the other side for about 2 minutes. Don\'t let it burn.
• Remove the bread from the oven and lay out six of the slices.
• Spread on a layer of mustard, 1 oz of cheese, 2 pieces of ham, and a top slice of bread.
• Place the sandwiches back onto the baking sheet.
• In a sauce pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the flour and whisk until smooth and golden colored.
• Slowly whisk in the milk and raise the heat just a little and whisk until the sauce starts to thicken.
• Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Once it starts to thicken, remove it from the heat and add the Parmesan cheese. Whisk until the cheese melts.
• Scoop the sauce on to the tops of the sandwiches.
• Put the tray into the oven and turn the broiler on.
• Broil the tops for about 4 minutes or until the cheese it hot and bubbly.
• Fry the eggs and place one egg onto each hot sandwich. To fry the eggs, heat a pan over medium heat. Crack an egg into the center of the pan and let cook untouched for about 3-4 minutes or until the white of the egg is solid.
• I cook my eggs with a touch of butter and a sprinkle of pepper.
• Serve Hot.
