Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices White sandwich bread
- 6 slices Deli ham
- 6 slices Deli turkey
- 6 slices Swiss cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 0.5 cup Raspberry jam
Instructions
Lay the slices of bread on a cutting board and trim off the crusts.
Cut each slice of bread into four equal squares to make 24 small squares.
Layer one slice of ham, one slice of turkey, and one slice of Swiss cheese between two bread squares to create a sandwich. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make 12 mini sandwiches.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, salt, and black pepper until smooth. This will be your batter.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or shallow pan over medium heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).
Dip each sandwich into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated, and let any excess batter drip off.
Carefully place the coated sandwiches into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Fry each sandwich for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Dust the sandwiches lightly with powdered sugar while still warm.
Serve warm with raspberry jam on the side for dipping.
