Instructions
1
Prep
Split the baguette lengthwise and spread both cut sides evenly with Dijon mustard, then layer ham and half the Emmental cheese on the bottom half.
2
Griddle
Melt half the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Toast the closed sandwich 2–3 minutes per side, pressing lightly, until bread is golden and cheese softens.
3
Melt
Sprinkle the remaining Emmental cheese over the top and cover the skillet for 1–2 minutes until the cheese melts and browns slightly.
4
Fry
In a separate small pan, melt the remaining butter over medium-low heat and fry the egg 2–3 minutes until the white sets but yolk remains runny; season with salt and pepper.
5
Plate
Top the melted sandwich with the fried egg and serve immediately while hot.
