Cheese Sauce: Melt butter in a heavy saucepan over low heat. Whisk in flour gradually until smooth and all lumps are gone. Cook, whisking constantly, for 1 minute. In a steady stream, gradually pour in 2 cups lukewarm milk and cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until mixture has thickened and is bubbly, about 5 minutes. Add Swiss cheese, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir until cheese has melted. Set aside to keep warm.
Heat a pan over medium heat and add half the butter. Soak 4 slices of bread in the egg mixture, drip off excess and place in the hot pan, frying both sides of the bread until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from pan, and set aside and keep warm. Repeat with remaining slices of bread.
Pan fry the slices of ham on medium heat until warmed through.
To assemble, plate one piece of French toast, followed by 1 slice ham and 1/8 amount of warmed pulled pork and pickles. Repeat with remaining ingredients, and finally with ¼ warmed Swiss Cheese sauce.
