Cut the french baguette into slices about half an inch thick.

Spread a mix of mustard and mayonnaise on one side of two slices of baguette.

Layer ham and provolone cheese on top of the mustard-mayo side of one slice.

Top with the second slice of baguette, mustard-mayo side down.

In a bowl, whisk together two eggs, a little milk, and a pinch of nutmeg.

Transfer the egg mixture to a shallow bowl for easier dipping.

Dip the assembled sandwich in the egg mixture on both sides, letting excess drip off.

Heat butter in a skillet over medium to medium-low heat.

Place the sandwich on the skillet and cook for about three minutes on each side until golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Serve with chips, sweet peppers, and nuts.
