French Toast Assembly

For Serving

Method

Prepare the French Toast Batter

  1. 1

    Whisk the Batter

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

Assemble the French Toast

  1. 2

    Layer the Ingredients

    Lay out 4 slices of bread on a clean surface. On each slice, layer 1 slice of ham and 1 slice of Swiss cheese. Top with another slice of bread to create a sandwich.

Cook the French Toast

  1. 3

    Dip and Cook

    Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Dip each sandwich in the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side. Place the soaked sandwich in the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches.

Serve the French Toast

  1. 4

    Finish and Serve

    Once all sandwiches are cooked, dust with powdered sugar and serve warm with chipotle-raspberry jam on the side.
