Other than to omit the salt, your easy-fix recipe was halved for 2 of us and made as written for the Quest 2014. I am 1 of those people who views grilled cheese sammies as comfort food and this is yummy Italian comfort food. I used gruyere cheese and (like other reviewers) enjoyed the use of mustard and pepper. Thx for sharing this recipe, Agent Karen. :-)

I love fried sandwiches and this one does not disappoint. What a great textured sandwich with loads of flavor. I used french mustard, old cheddar and hot and sweet italian salami for an extra special treat. It was so yummy. Loved the crispiness that the egg brings to the sandwich. Can't wait to have this again. Thanks for sharing. Made for Fall Pac/12

This makes for a wonderful and tasty snack for anythime of the day.<br/>The salami, mustard and cheese compliment each other so well!<br/>Although I did cheat and use a sandwich toaster instead of frying, it was my healthy substitute for the day! ;-)<br/>Thanks and I will try these again soon Karen.
