Italian Cheese Custard Sandwich

Recipe Ingredients

6		Eggs
1 1/2 cups	355ml	Milk
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Salt
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Freshly-ground black pepper
2 tablespoons	30ml	Grated Parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons	45ml	Butter - divided
8		White bread, 1/2" thick - crusts cut off
2 cups	292g / 10oz	Grated Fontina cheese

Recipe Instructions

Mix the eggs, milk, salt, pepper and Parmesan in a bowl until well blended. Set aside.

Grease an 8-inch square baking dish with 1 tablespoon of the butter. Place 4 of the bread slices in the bottom of the baking dish. Sprinkle the Fontina cheese evenly over the bread. Place the remaining slices of bread on top. Pour the custard batter over the sandwiches. Cover with wax paper or plastic wrap and let stand for at least 15 minutes.

Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake uncovered until the sandwiches are puffed and lightly golden, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove the dish from the oven and keep warm.

Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Remove the sandwiches from the baking dish with a spatula and place in the pan. Cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes a side. Cut the sandwiches in half and serve hot.
