Dijon Croque Monsieur

Prep / Total :  30 minutes ...Serves 4 (serving size :1 sandwich)

1 .................tablespoon whole-grain Dijon mustard
1 .................tablespoon fat-free mayonnaise
8 .................(1-ounce) slices Italian bread
6 .................ounces thinly sliced ham 
1................. cup (4 ounces) shredded Gruyère cheese
1/4 ..............teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 
1/2 ..............cup egg substitute
1/4 ..............cup fat-free milk 
                           **Cooking spray** 

1.           Combine mustard and mayonnaise in a small bowl. Spread 3/4 teaspoon mustard mixture over each of 4 bread slices; layer each slice with 1 1/2 ounces ham and 1/4 cup cheese. Sprinkle evenly with pepper. Spread 3/4 teaspoon mayonnaise mixture over each remaining bread slice; place, mustard side down, on top of sandwiches.
2.         Combine egg substitute and fat-free milk in a shallow dish. Dip both sides of each sandwich into the egg mixture.
3.         Heat a large nonstick griddle or skillet over medium heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add sandwiches to pan; cook 3 minutes on each side or until lightly browned and cheese melts.
TIP :
Instead of your usual grilled ham and cheese, try this French-style sandwich that's enhanced by the zip of whole-grain mustard. One online reviwer claims, "Dijon Croque Monsieur is one of our favorite sandwiches to have for dinner served along side a salad."
