Prepare the bread by slicing it evenly.

Spread mustard on one side of each slice of bread.

Layer ham and cheese on the mustard side of half the slices.

Top with the remaining slices, mustard side down, to form sandwiches.

In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat until bubbling.

Dip each sandwich in the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.

Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Transfer the sandwiches to a baking sheet and top with additional cheese if desired.

Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F until the cheese is melted, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
