Method

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 1

    Layer the Ingredients

    Place one slice of bread on a clean surface. Layer with 1 slice of ham, 1 slice of turkey, and 1 slice of Swiss cheese. Top with a second slice of bread to complete the sandwich.

  2. 2

    Repeat for Second Sandwich

    Repeat the layering process to make a second sandwich with the remaining ingredients.

Preparing the Egg Mixture

  1. 3

    Whisk the Ingredients

    In a bowl, whisk together 2 eggs, 1 tablespoon of milk, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper until well combined.

Cooking the Sandwiches

  1. 4

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until bubbly and slightly browned.

  2. 5

    Dip and Cook

    Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Serving the Dish

  1. 6

    Plate the Sandwiches

    Once cooked, remove the sandwiches from the skillet and place them on a cutting board.
