Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Slices of bread (white or brioche preferred)
- 6 ounces Sliced turkey breast
- 2 pieces Swiss cheese slices
- 2 pieces Cheddar cheese slices
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional for garnish)
- 0.25 cup Raspberry or strawberry jam (for serving)
Instructions
Assemble the sandwiches by layering one slice of Swiss cheese and one slice of cheddar cheese on two pieces of bread.
Add an even layer of sliced turkey on top of the cheese.
Place the second piece of bread on top, pressing down gently to secure the sandwich.
In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and ground black pepper to create the batter.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface.
Dip each sandwich into the egg batter, coating both sides evenly but not oversaturating the bread.
Carefully place the sandwiches onto the hot skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for 1 minute.
Slice each sandwich in half diagonally and dust lightly with powdered sugar if desired.
Serve immediately with a side of raspberry or strawberry jam for dipping.
