Instructions
- 1
Assemble the sandwich: Layer the ham, turkey, and Swiss cheese between the two slices of sturdy white bread.
- 2
In a shallow, wide bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until frothy and completely combined.
- 3
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt the butter, ensuring it coats the bottom evenly.
- 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
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
Transfer to a cutting board, slice in half diagonally, dust generously with powdered sugar, and serve immediately with a side of raspberry jam.
