Preparation

Step 1

Spread 1 slice of bread with mustard and top with pickles, meats, and cheese. Mince and mash the garlic to a paste with a pinch of salt, then mix with the mayo. Spread on the remaining slice of bread and assemble sandwich.

Beat together the egg, milk, and 1/8 tsp salt and pepper, then soak sandwich in the egg mixture.

Melt the butter in a heavy skillet over medium low heat. Cook the sandwich, uncovered, until browned. About 4 minutes per side. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 1 minute. Enjoy.
