5 Make a mix of eggs and milk (as you would for French toast) and dip the triple deckers into this, allowing the bread to soak up the mix.

6 Seal each sandwich in a pan with a little oil and then place on an oven tray.

7 Bake the croques in a medium oven until the cheese is melted.

Serve with lots of paper napkins.
