Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Custard Mixture

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

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sandwiches

    Lay out two slices of bread. On one slice, layer the ham, turkey (or chicken), and Swiss cheese. Top with the other slice of bread to form a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make a second sandwich.

  3. 3

    Soak the Sandwiches

    Dip each sandwich into the custard mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated. Allow excess mixture to drip off.

  4. 4

    Cook the Sandwiches

    In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Place the soaked sandwiches in the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with maple syrup on the side.
