Preparation

Step 1

In a large shallow bowl, whisk eggs, beer, flour, salt and chili powder. Dunk 1 slice of bread into the batter on both sides, giving it a second to fully absorb the batter, and let the excess batter drain back into the bowl.

Move to another plate, and top with cheese and additional toppings if desired (cooked bacon, sliced ham, etc.).

In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Place the sandwich in the middle, and let cook on each side 3-4 minutes, until it reaches a crispy golden brown and a gooey cheese middle. Repeat for all sandwiches. Plate, add garnishes and enjoy.

Sounds Yum. Definately going to make this with some of my homemade cheese. :) can taste it now :)
