Instructions
When cooking outside on a grill or a Blackstone Griddle, a masterful tip is to have ALL of your ingredients ready. Gather your bread, butter, eggs, milk, onions, sauces, cheese and sliced meats... don't forget a whisk, a spatula and plates or something to put your finished sandwich on. The cook goes rather quickly and a moment away from the grill getting that item can change a cook to going really good to a not-so-good one.
Warm your griddle to low heat. Whisk the eggs, add the milk and 1-2 teaspoons of Peppered Bovine Premium Seasoning. Melt some butter on the pre-heated griddle and spread around. Soak a slice of bread in the egg mixture and turn it over to soak up on the other side. Place on the griddle and continue soaking each piece of bread until all four slices are on the griddle top. Slide you spatula under an edge of the bread and look to see if the bread is changing colour and the egg mixture has "toasted". Turn the bread over to cook the other side.

Add the ham on the griddle for a few seconds to warm through and turn over. Add a slice of Gouda cheese on a slice of ham. Stack other pieces of ham on top of the cheese creating a stack of ham and cheese.
Top each piece of griddled bread with Magic Mayo (recipe below) and then a slice of Swiss cheese - both the top and bottom bread pieces. Move the ham stack onto the bread with the Swiss cheese to start assembling the sandwich. Roll the top bread piece onto the stack, press gently to let the sandwich come together. Turn the sandwich over to allow heat to penetrate through the sandwich and melt the cheese. Remove from the grill, cut in half and serve with House of Q Five Star BBQ Sauce or a jam that you might have (traditional condiment for a Monte Cristo).
