Use the Right Bread

Brioche bread works best for this recipe because it’s eggy, fluffy, and a bit sweet. But you can also use other bread types like white sandwich bread or French toast bread.

Choose Quality Ingredients

For best results, use high-quality hot dogs, Swiss cheese, and deli ham. Consider getting your deli meat sliced fresh instead of using pre-packaged slices.

Remove Toothpicks Before Eating

Don’t forget to remove the toothpicks from the sandwiches before serving and eating, as they can be a choking hazard.

Try Different Cheeses and Meats

Experiment with different cheese and meat combinations, such as cheddar and bacon or provolone and roast beef.

Keep an Eye on the Heat

Make sure to cook the sandwiches on medium heat. If you cook them on high heat, the bread will toast too quickly, and the cheese won’t melt correctly. If the heat is too low, the bread will get soggy instead of crispy.

Use a Wide-Shallow Bowl and Whisk the Egg Mixture Properly

Use a wide-shallow bowl to dip your bread as it will allow your bread to fully soak in the egg mixture. Ensure the egg mixture is whisked thoroughly, so the salt and pepper are evenly distributed.

Halve the Recipe for Fewer Servings

This recipe makes four servings. If you only need two, halve the recipe ingredients and adjust cook time accordingly.
