Ingredients

  • 8 lices white bread
  • 12 lices honey ham
  • 12 lices turkey
  • 8 lices Swiss cheese
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise divided
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard divided
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • powdered sugar
  • raspberry jam

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 225f.
  2. Beat the eggs, milk, and nutmeg in a large bowl and set aside.
  3. Evenly divide and spread the mayo and mustard onto one side of each piece of bread. Layer 3 slices of turkey, 3 slices of ham, and 2 slices of swiss cheese onto each sandwich and close them up with a top slice of bread.
  4. Heat the butter over medium-low heat in a large pan.
  5. Dip 2 sandwiches into the batter then drip off the excess and place into the hot pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until well browned. Place the sandwiches on a wire rack lined baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm. Repeat for the second batches of sandwiches, adding more butter if required.
  6. Sprinkle the sandwiches with powdered sugar and serve with raspberry jam. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Setting the oven to ~225f and placing them on a baking sheet will keep the sandwiches warm while making multiple batches.
  • Leftovers can be saved for up to 3 days in the fridge and can be reheated on a wire rack lined baking sheeti at 350f until hot.
