Ingredients:

  • 4 slices of Texas toast
  • 4 slices of ham
  • 4 slices of turkey
  • 4 slices of Swiss cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting
  • Jam of your choice (raspberry, strawberry, or blackberry work well)

French Toast Batter:

  • In a shallow dish, beat together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Sandwiches:

    • Lay out two slices of Texas toast. On each slice, layer one slice of Swiss cheese, followed by two slices of ham, and two slices of turkey. Top each with another slice of Swiss cheese and cover with the remaining slices of Texas toast to form two sandwiches.
  2. Heat the Skillet:

    • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Make sure the skillet is large enough to accommodate the sandwiches.
  3. Dip the Sandwiches:

    • Dip each sandwich into the French toast batter, ensuring both sides are well-coated. Allow the excess batter to drip off.
  4. Cook the Sandwiches:

    • Place the dipped sandwiches in the heated skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until each side is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese has melted.
  5. Serve:

    • Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for a minute. Dust with powdered sugar through a sieve for a sweet finish.
    • Cut the sandwiches in half, diagonally, and serve hot with a side of your chosen jam for dipping.
