Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices White sandwich bread
- 3 slices American cheese slices
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 cup Cornflakes, crushed
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Prepare the sandwich assembly by laying out three slices of white sandwich bread. Top each with a slice of American cheese, then place another slice of bread on top to create a sandwich.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and salt to form an egg wash.
Place the flour in another shallow dish, and the crushed cornflakes in a third shallow dish.
Dredge each sandwich first in the flour, making sure to coat all sides lightly.
Dip the floured sandwich into the egg wash, coating it evenly.
Press the egg-washed sandwich into the crushed cornflakes, patting gently so the cornflakes adhere to all surfaces.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry each sandwich one at a time, about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use tongs to carefully flip the sandwich and remove it from the oil when done.
Place the fried sandwiches on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Slice each sandwich in half diagonally and serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce, such as ketchup or ranch dressing.
