Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 slices Sandwich bread
- 4 slices Deli-style ham
- 4 slices Deli-style turkey
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Instructions
Prepare the sweet mustard sauce by combining mayonnaise, yellow mustard, and honey in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth and set aside.
In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper until smooth to create the batter.
Assemble the sandwiches: Lay out 4 slices of bread and spread a thin layer of the sweet mustard sauce on each. Add one slice of ham, one slice of turkey, and one slice of Swiss cheese to each piece of bread. Top with the remaining slices of bread to form sandwiches.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, allowing them to melt together.
Dip each sandwich into the egg batter, ensuring both sides are well-coated, and carefully place it into the skillet.
Cook the sandwiches for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Cook in batches if necessary, adding the remaining butter and oil between batches.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and transfer them to a cutting board. Dust the top of each sandwich lightly with powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness.
Cut each sandwich into halves or quarters and serve warm with the remaining sweet mustard sauce on the side for dipping.
