Ingredients

4 strips bacon
2 eggs
¼ cup milk (60ml / 4 tablespoons)
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
4 slices bread ( I used sourdough)
4 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 cup shredded cheese (120g)
1 tablespoon salted butter
1 tablespoon oil

Instructions

Cook the bacon, either in the oven or on the stovetop. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt and pepper and dijon mustard.
Spread mayonnaise on one side of each piece of bread. Place shredded cheese on two of the four pieces and top with the cooked bacon. Finish with a little more cheese on top of the bacon and close the sandwich so that the mayonnaise is on the inside.
Place the sandwiches into the egg mix and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes (depending on the thickness and dryness of your bread). Flip over and soak the other side.
Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet. Once hot, place the sandwiches in. Cook on both sides for 4 to 5 minutes until golden brown.
Cut in half and serve immediately.

Notes

Don't overload your fillings too much in this savory stuffed French toast or it will be too heavy and likely to fall apart.
Use a dense bread like sourdough or challah. If you use a softer bread like brioche, you won't need to soak it for as long.
