Step 1
Arrange 3 cheese slices overlapping on a board; spread with half the mustard, then top with 3 more cheese slices.
Step 2
Place flour in one shallow bowl, beaten egg in another, breadcrumbs in a third.
Step 3
Dredge the cheese stack in flour, shaking off excess; dip in egg until coated, then press into breadcrumbs on both sides.
Step 4
Heat butter in a skillet over medium-high until foaming, about 90 seconds.
Step 5
Slide the breaded stack into the skillet; fry until golden and cheese begins peeking through edges, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
Step 6
Transfer to a plate, let rest 1 minute, slice in half, and serve immediately with a small salad or cornichons.
