Preparation

Combine mustard and butter and lightly spread on each slice of bread. Make sandwiches with the cheese slices. Press bread together firmly.

Beat eggs with milk in a large dish and dip sandwiches into the mixture. Allow bread to soak up mixture.

Heat butter in a large skillet (sandwiches may have to be cooked in batches) and cook sandwiches until well browned on both sides and cheese is melting in the centre. Serve hot.
