"My husband works shifts, so sometimes he's eating breakfast at dinnertime," writes Dawn Davidson of Thornton, Ontario. "This sandwich prepared like French toast, is quick to make."

1 slice (1 ounce) Swiss cheese
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
Dash pepper
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons beaten egg

Directions

Spread mustard over one side of each slice of bread, then layer with ham and cheese; top with remaining bread.
In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, water and egg until smooth. Dip sandwich on both sides in egg mixture. Cook in a skillet coated with cooking spray until browned, about 2 minutes on each side.
