Lay out 4 slices of bread and layer 2 slices of ham and 2 slices of cheese on each, creating 4 ham and cheese sandwiches.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper to create the egg wash.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter.
Dip each sandwich into the egg wash, making sure both sides are coated.
If using panko, sprinkle gently on top of the egg-washed bread (both sides)
Place the dipped sandwiches onto the skillet and cook until golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side. Add more butter as needed.
Once both sides are crispy and the cheese is melted, remove the sandwiches from the skillet.
Let the sandwiches rest for a minute before slicing them diagonally.

Notes

Experiment with different types of bread to find your favorite pairing. Sourdough, whole wheat, or French all work well. If you’d like, add a layer of Dijon mustard for an extra kick of flavor or top with a fried egg for an extra protein boost. Pair your sandwich with a simple green salad or a bowl of tomato soup for a well-rounded meal. Enjoy!
