Happy Birthday Pops

Today is my father in law Jim's birthday. We all celebrated last Sunday since I am out of town today. Jim loves great food just like I do and he is always willing to try new things. He is always so complimentary of my cooking even when I make something up for dinner! I wouldn't experiment with most people coming over but I know Jim will be a good sport if its bad! :) Jim is an excellent cook, he is a single guy and I was shocked the first time Matt invited me for dinner at his dad's place at all the food! The man can barbecue a turkey, which is something I would never attempt! (This is where Matt get's his impressive grilling skills)
I came across this brunch recipe and thought this was something he would like to try out. Jim, I hope you have a really great birthday, we will have to try this recipe one day at one of our family get togethers at your place.
8 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 soft rolls, halved lengthwise
8 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced
8 ounces Swiss cheese, thinly sliced

In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and pepper.

Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the eggs and scramble until cooked through.

Divide the eggs among the bottom halves of the rolls. Add the prosciutto and cheese and sandwich with the tops of the rolls.

Melt the remaining butter in a grill pan or large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add half the sandwiches to the skillet. Cook, pressing frequently with the back of a spatula or placing another pan on top of the sandwiches to weigh them down, until the cheese has melted and the bread is golden, 4 to 6 minutes. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches.
