Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 6 | Eggs |
| 1/2 | Cup milk |
| 1/2 | Pound deli ham |
| 1/2 | Pound Swiss cheese |
| 8 | Slices sandwich bread |
| 16 | Slices turkey breast |
| 4 | Tablespoons butter |
| 1/4 | Cup powdered sugar |
| 1 | Jar preserves |
Instructions:
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until well combined.
-
On 8 slices of bread, evenly layer slices of turkey, ham, and Swiss cheese. Top each with the remaining 8 slices of bread to form sandwiches.
-
In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over low heat.
-
Dip each sandwich, one at a time, into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
-
Place the coated sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
-
Repeat the dipping and cooking process with the remaining sandwiches, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
-
Once cooked, dust the sandwiches with powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness.
-
Serve immediately with preserves on the side for dipping.
Notes:
- Ensure the skillet is not too hot to prevent burning the sandwiches before the cheese melts.
- You can customize these sandwiches by adding a layer of mustard or mayonnaise for extra flavor.
- Serve with a side salad or potato chips for a complete meal.
- These sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh and hot, straight from the skillet.
