Sandwich Components

Batter

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread. On two slices, layer the ham, turkey, and Swiss cheese. Top with the other two slices of bread, mayonnaise side down.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Batter

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

Cooking

  1. 3

    Coat the Sandwich

    Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter. Dip each assembled sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated.

  2. 4

    Cook the Sandwich

    Place the coated sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  3. 5

    Serve

    Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and serve hot. Drizzle with berry jam and sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
