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)

Directions

Step 1

Assemble the sandwiches by layering one slice of Swiss cheese and one slice of cheddar cheese on two pieces of bread.

Step 2

Add an even layer of sliced turkey on top of the cheese.

Step 3

Place the second piece of bread on top, pressing down gently to secure the sandwich.

Step 4

In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and ground black pepper to create the batter.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface.

Step 6

Dip each sandwich into the egg batter, coating both sides evenly but not oversaturating the bread.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for 1 minute.

Step 9

Slice each sandwich in half diagonally and dust lightly with powdered sugar if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately with a side of raspberry or strawberry jam for dipping.
