Savoury Sandwiches

When I was a pre-teen my mother allowed us kids to make our favourite meals on a Sunday night, I can remember making a baked savoury sandwich with ham and cheese in it but for the life of me I can't remember what else was in the dish. I would like to make it again but can't find the recipe. Can anyone help!

Croque monsier! sp Not sure if this is what you are after, haven't got a recipe though.

That's what it sounds like to me as well although I think traditionally croque monsieur is fried rather than baked.I also remember my kids making something like a "bread savoury" when they were at intermediate school - don't know what the recipe was though and it may just have been bread cases filled with spaghetti, ham and topped with cheese.

Thanks nanasee1 - that sounds like it except there was no spinach or ricotta only tasty cheese.

Connor I play with the recipe and use all sorts of filling & cheese. Sometimes it is easier to make the sandwiches, quarter them then pour the egg mix over.
