Directions
In shallow bowl combine egg, milk, Parmesan cheese, and pepper. Set aside.
Place Canadian bacon (or black forest ham) and swiss cheese on one slice bread.
Top with remaining slice of bread.
Dip sandwich into the egg mixture, turning several times until as much liquid as possible has been absorbed.
In small nonstick skillet heat margarine until bubbly and hot; add sandwich, pouring any remaing egg mixture over bread.
Cook over medium heat turning once, until brown and crisp on both sides. Several minutes per side.
Serve immediately.
