# Ingredients:
01 -
4 slices of white bread
02 -
4 slices of ham
03 -
4 slices of turkey
04 -
4 slices of Swiss cheese
05 -
2 large eggs
06 -
1/4 cup of milk
07 -
A pinch of salt and pepper
08 -
2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
09 -
Powdered sugar (for dusting)
10 -
Raspberry jam (for serving)
# Instructions:
01 -
For each sandwich, place 2 slices of ham, 2 slices of turkey, and 2 slices of Swiss cheese between two slices of bread.
02 -
Press the sandwiches gently to compact and trim the crusts if desired.
03 -
In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
04 -
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
05 -
Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated.
06 -
Place the soaked sandwiches into the skillet, cooking until they are golden brown on both sides, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
07 -
Once cooked, transfer the sandwiches to a paper towel-lined plate.
08 -
Before serving, dust the sandwiches lightly with powdered sugar. Slice the sandwiches diagonally and serve hot with a side of raspberry jam for dipping.
# Notes:
01 -
Opt for thick slices of bread to hold the fillings better and absorb the egg mixture without getting soggy.
02 -
You can use other types of meat like roast beef or chicken for variety.
03 -
Strawberry jam or even maple syrup can be used as alternatives to raspberry jam.
04 -
If you want a creamier texture inside, consider adding a thin spread of mayonnaise or mustard to the bread before adding the meats and cheese.
