Instructions

Step 1: Assemble Your Sandwich – Begin by laying out your slices of bread. Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on one slice, then layer the Swiss cheese, turkey, ham, and another slice of cheese on top before capping with a final slice of bread.

Step 2: Prepare the Egg Mixture – In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined.

Step 3: Heat the Grill – In a skillet over medium heat, melt a generous pat of butter.

Step 4: Coat the Sandwich – Carefully dip each assembled sandwich into the egg mixture, making sure both sides absorb enough of the custard.

Step 5: Cook the Sandwich – Place the soaked sandwich onto the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Step 6: Rest and Serve – Remove the sandwich from the skillet, let it rest for a minute or two, dust with powdered sugar before slicing, and serve with your favorite jam.
