Steps:
- In a medium bowl, lightly beat together the eggs, mustard, tarragon, and pepper.
- Dip each bread slice into the egg mixture, making sure that both sides are thoroughly coated.
- Put dipped slices on a plate and set aside.
- In two large sauté pans, melt one tablespoon butter in each over medium-high heat.
- Add four bread slices to each pan.
- Cook until the undersides are dark golden brown, about four minutes.
- Turn slices and place four slices of cheese and one slice of ham on each of the four slices of bread.
- (You may need to fold the ham slices in half to fit the bread.) Cover with the other four bread slices, placing the cooked side down over the cheese and ham.
- (You will now be using only one pan.) Cover the pan and cook for two to three minutes or until the bottom sides of the bread are browned.
- Using a spatula, turn the sandwiches, press to flatten slightly, and cook 2 to 3 minutes more, or until bread is toasted and cheese is melted.
- Cut in half and serve immediately.
- If desired, serve a little extra Dijon-style mustard on the side.
Tips:
- For the best results, use high-quality ingredients. Look for thick-cut Black Forest ham and a creamy, flavorful Brie cheese.
- If you don't have a panini press, you can make these sandwiches in a skillet over medium heat. Just be sure to weigh them down with a heavy object, such as a cast iron skillet, to ensure that the cheese melts evenly.
- Serve these sandwiches immediately, while the cheese is still melted and gooey. You can garnish them with fresh herbs, such as basil or chives, for an extra pop of flavor.
Conclusion:
These Black Forest ham and Brie open-faced melts are a quick and easy meal that is perfect for any occasion. They're hearty and satisfying, yet still light and refreshing. Plus, they're so easy to make, even novice cooks can pull them off. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy meal, give these sandwiches a try. You won't be disappointed!
