Ingredients

mayonnaise
6 slice white bread ..or try whole wheat bread
6 slice american cheese...only!
crushed corn flakes...or soda crackers
oil for cooking
** batter recipe below:
1 large egg
1/2 c milk
1 tsp salt
3/4 c flour
catsup for dipping

Steps:

1. For frenchies...Cut crusts off bread and spread mayonnaise to taste on one side of each bread slice. Place one slice of cheese between two slices of bread. ****NOTE: USE ONLY AMERICAN CHEESE. Cut each sandwich diagonally to make 4 triangles. Best Secret Tip. If you freeze them overnight,the bread asorbs some of the mayonnaise..it helps to firm them up. Try it with and without freezing.. see what you think.
2. For batter,combine beaten egg, milk,salt and flour. Dip each triangle in batter, then dip in crushed cornflakes as needed.
3. Heat oil to 375 degrees, in your fryer. Fry Frenchies untill browned, but not burned. Serve with catsup and a dill pickle on the side. Chow down...and enjoy this special treat from the past!
4. Variation: For Tuna Frenchies, substitute cheese with canned,drained tuna mixed with a wee bit of mayonnaise and salt. The mayonnaise will hold the tuna together. Follow the above recipe. I have made these with canned salmon.. and served hot at a graduation part They looked so pretty on a tray, decorated with parsley sprigs and radish roses.

Mise en place: As with most recipes, having all your ingredients and equipment ready to go before you start cooking will make the process much smoother.
Use high-quality cheese: The quality of your cheese will greatly impact the flavor of your Frenchies. Look for a cheese that is flavorful and melts well.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in tough Frenchies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
