Method

Sandwich Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Egg Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Lay out two slices of Texas toast. On each slice, layer turkey, ham, and Swiss cheese. Top with the remaining slices of Texas toast to form two sandwiches.

  3. 3

    Dip the Sandwiches

    Carefully dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.

  4. 4

    Cook the Sandwiches

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the dipped sandwiches and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Serving

  1. 5

    Prepare the French Fries

  2. 6

    Serve the Sandwich

    Once the sandwiches are cooked, slice them in half and serve with French fries on the side, along with Russian dressing and maple syrup for dipping.
