| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | In a medium bowl, lightly beat together the eggs, Dijon-style mustard, tarragon leaves, and fresh ground pepper. 🥚🌿 |

| 3 | Place dipped slices on a plate and set aside. |
| 4 | In two large sauté pans, melt one tablespoon of butter in each over medium-high heat. |
| 5 | Add four bread slices to each pan and cook until the undersides are dark golden brown, approximately four minutes. 🍳 |
| 6 | Turn the 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.) 🧀🥓 |
| 7 | Cover with the remaining four bread slices, placing the cooked side down over the cheese and ham. |
| 8 | Now, using only one pan, cover it and cook for two to three minutes or until the bottom sides of the bread are browned. 🍴 |
| 9 | Using a spatula, turn the sandwiches, press to flatten slightly, and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, or until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melted. |
