Ingredients
- 9
large eggs, divided
- 1/2 cup
whole milk
- 1 Tbsp.
granulated sugar
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
Kosher salt
- 3 Tbsp.
butter
- 4
- 2 Tbsp.
heavy cream
- 1
grated Gruyère or Swiss
- 4
thin slices deli ham
Warm maple syrup, for serving
Directions
- Step 1Make the French toast: In a medium shallow bowl, whisk together 3 eggs, milk, sugar, nutmeg, and a large pinch of salt.
- Step 2In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Working in batches of two, dip both sides of brioche in egg mixture a few times to let bread absorb the liquid. Cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet, then repeat with another tablespoon of butter and remaining bread slices.
- Step 3In a small bowl beat the remaining 6 eggs and heavy cream together. Season generously with salt and pepper. Wipe out the skillet and return to medium heat. Melt 1 tablespoon butter. Pour about half the eggs into the skillet. Let sit about 1 minute. Fold the sides of the egg into the middle to approximately the same shape and size of the French toast. Remove from pan and repeat with remaining butter and egg.
- Step 4Preheat the oven to broil. Top 2 pieces of French toast with ham and sprinkle the cheese over the other 2 pieces. Broil until the cheese is bubbly and melted, about 3 minutes. Remove from oven and top with egg. Sandwich with the ham slices. Drizzle with maple syrup and serve warm.
