Crushed potato chips put the crunch in this appetizing variation on ham and cheese. “Serve this layered sandwich with a bowl of soup, and you’ll have one of the best comfort-food meals of your life,” assures Karen Wolf of Niles, Illinois.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter, softened
  • 4 slices white bread
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 4 slices American cheese
  • 2 slices deli ham (1 ounce each)
  • 1/2 medium tomato, thinly sliced
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons 2% milk
  • 1/8 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 cup crushed ridged potato chips

Directions

  1. Butter 1 side of each slice of bread. Spread mustard over the unbuttered side of 2 slices; layer each with 1 slice of cheese, ham, tomato, remaining cheese and remaining bread, buttered side up.
  2. In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs, milk and onion powder. Place potato chips in another bowl. Dip each sandwich into egg mixture, then coat with potato chips.
  3. In a large skillet or griddle coated with cooking spray, toast sandwiches for 4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
