This kid-friendly sandwich is yummy and easy to make for lunch and snacks. Sort of in between a grilled cheese and a Monte Cristo.

Ingredients

4 slices cooked ham
4 slices sourdough bread
2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup drained crushed pineapple
2 slices provolone or Swiss cheese
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions

1 Spread cream cheese on two slices of bread. Layer 2 slices of ham, 2 tablespoons of pineapple, and one slice of cheese over the cream cheese. Then top each sandwich with one more slice of bread. Cut off crusts.
2 In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk and sugar. Briefly dip both sides of sandwiches in egg mixture.
3 Heat butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place sandwiches in skillet, and fry on each side until golden brown and cheese is melted, about 5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and cool for 3 minutes before serving.
