A sweet and savory ham and cheese sandwich dipped in egg batter and pan-fried.

20 minutes
Serves 2
Breakfast/Lunch

Instructions

  1. 1

    Assemble the sandwich: Layer the ham, turkey, and Swiss cheese between the two slices of sturdy white bread.

  2. 2

    In a shallow, wide bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until frothy and completely combined.

  3. 3

    Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt the butter, ensuring it coats the bottom evenly.

  4. 4

    Carefully dip the entire sandwich into the egg batter, allowing both sides and the edges to soak for about 10 seconds per side so the bread absorbs the mixture.

  5. 5

    Place the battered sandwich into the hot skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until the exterior is a deep, crusty golden brown and the cheese inside is fully melted.

  6. 6

    Transfer to a cutting board, slice in half diagonally, dust generously with powdered sugar, and serve immediately with a side of raspberry jam.
