Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices white sandwich bread
- 3 slices Wisconsin swiss cheese
- 3 slices Wisconsin cheddar cheese
- 6 slices sliced deli ham
- 6 slices sliced deli turkey
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons powdered sugar
- 0.5 cup raspberry jam
Instructions
Place 3 slices of bread on a clean work surface. Arrange 1 slice of Wisconsin swiss cheese, 2 slices of ham, and 2 slices of turkey on each slice of bread.
Top the meats with 1 slice of Wisconsin cheddar cheese and cover with another slice of bread to form 3 sandwiches in total.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, and salt until smooth. Transfer the mixture to a shallow dish for dipping.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
Dip both sides of one sandwich into the egg mixture, allowing the bread to soak for a few seconds. Carefully place the sandwich onto the skillet.
Cook each sandwich for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches, adding more butter as needed.
Once cooked, transfer the sandwiches to a plate and let them rest for 1-2 minutes.
Sprinkle each sandwich lightly with powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness.
Serve warm with raspberry jam on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
