Ingredients
  

  • 3 slice thick white bread or brioche
  • 6 slice deli ham
  • 6 slice roasted turkey
  • 3 slice Swiss cheese
  • 1 egg egg
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tsp mayo
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch black pepper
  • butter for the pan
  • raspberry jam for serving
  • powdered sugar for dusting

Method
 

  1. Cut the crusts off the bread. Spread mayo and Dijon mustard on one side of each slice.
  1. Build your sandwich by layering bread → Swiss → ham → turkey → bread → turkey → ham → Swiss → bread.
  1. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt a generous amount of butter.
  1. Dip both sides of the sandwich into the egg mixture, letting it soak lightly like French toast.
  1. Cook the sandwich for 3–4 minutes per side until deeply golden brown and the cheese is fully melted. Press gently while cooking to seal the layers together.
  1. Remove the sandwich from the pan, dust with powdered sugar, slice in half, and serve warm with raspberry jam for dipping.

Notes

  • Use brioche for a richer flavor and softer texture.
  • Make sure to press the sandwich gently while cooking to help seal the layers together.
  • Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
