Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 8 slices white sandwich bread
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 4 oz deli ham thinly sliced
- 4 oz deli turkey thinly sliced
- 2 each large eggs
- 0.5 cup milk whole or 2%
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp butter for frying
- 0.25 cup powdered sugar for dusting
- 0.5 cup raspberry jam for dipping
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Lay out 4 slices of bread. Add 1 slice of Swiss cheese, 1 oz ham, 1 oz turkey, and another slice of Swiss cheese. Top with remaining bread slices to form sandwiches.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat until melted and bubbling.

Notes
For a savory twist, add a touch of Dijon mustard inside the sandwich before grilling.
