Personal Notes:
I serve with a side of jelly(blackberry) to dip sandwich in. It's like a grilled ham and cheese with turkey and an egg over it and with jelly a Monte Cristo combined as 1) Great for brunch or breakfast. Also Gruyere is kind of expensive but soooo worth it for this, but you can substitute it for Swiss also Seems very time consuming but not really once you get the hang of making it and tweaking it to your own liking I added turkey and jam original doesn't call for either!
