What's for lunch? A Monte Cristo!

This sandwich is perfect for lunch on a day when you want something easy, yummy and satisfying. Ever since I made it a couple months ago, my boyfriend has requested it many times for lunch.
Ingredients:
1 egg
2 pieces of sandwich bread
2 tablespoons of light mayonnaise
1 teaspoon of poppy seed
4 slices of ham
2 slices of cheese (Havarti or Swiss)
1 tablespoon of butter
Directions:
Spread half of the mayonnaise on one side of one of the pieces of bread. Put a piece of cheese on top. Top with the ham, the other piece of cheese, the rest of the mayonnaise and lastly the bread. Whisk the egg with a teaspoon of poppy seed in a wide open container. Soak the sandwich in the egg mixture. Make sure the outside of the sandwich is completely coated.
In a skillet, melt the butter on medium heat. Once the butter is melted, put the sandwich in the skillet. Cook each side for about 3 minutes or until crispy and golden brown.
Remove from heat and cut into halves. Enjoy!
