Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 8 slices firm white sandwich bread
  • 8 oz sliced fully cooked ham
  • 8 oz sliced ready-to-eat turkey
  • 8 slices Swiss cheese
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tsp powdered sugar

Method
 

  1. Spread 4 slices with Dijon; layer each with Swiss, ham, turkey, another Swiss slice, and another bread slice.
  2. Press gently; trim only loose meat beyond bread.
  3. Whisk eggs, milk, and salt streak-free in a shallow dish.
  4. Melt half the butter on a griddle over medium-low. Quickly dip 2 sandwiches on both sides; place on griddle.
  5. Cook 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden, egg sets, and center reaches 165°F. Repeat with remaining butter and sandwiches.
  6. Dust each with 1/2 teaspoon powdered sugar; cut diagonally and serve hot.
