Ingredients
cranberry jam
- 6 ounces fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- pinch salt
- 2 lices hearty white bread or sourdough
- 2 ounces sliced deli ham
- 2 ounces sliced deli turkey
- 2 lices Swiss cheese
- 3 large eggs, beaten
- ½ cup whole milk or half&half
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
- Cranberry jam: Place all ingredients into a small saucepan and stir together. Place over medium-low heat and simmer for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring frequently, or until mixture is thick and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and cool completely.
- For the sandwich: Place bread slices onto a clean surface and top with deli ham. Top ham with a slice of cheese, followed by the turkey and remaining slice of cheese. Finish with the remaining slice of bread and gently press together. In a shallow baking dish whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
- Place butter in a skillet and melt over medium to medium-high heat. Dip sandwich into the egg batter, both sides, and quickly but carefully transfer to the hot skillet.
- Cook sandwich for 4 to 5 minutes or until toasted and golden brown, flip and continue to cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
- Carefully pick the sandwich up and quickly sear all the edges (crust) of the sandwich. Transfer to a cutting board and allow sandwich to cool for about 5 minutes.
- Cut sandwich in half and serve with a side of cranberry jam and Negra Modelo.
Notes
- Makes 1 sandwich + 1 1/2 cups jam
