Instructions
- Prepare the Sandwich: Take two slices of white bread. Smear one side with equal parts mayo and mustard, and the other side with raspberry jam. Add Swiss cheese to both sides.
- Add Meat: Layer ham and turkey on the sandwich, folded in half and staggered for a stable foundation.
- Make Custard Mixture: Mix equal parts egg and milk to create a custard.
- Dip Sandwich: Dip the entire sandwich in the custard mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated.
- Fry the Sandwich: Melt a couple tablespoons of unsalted butter in a non-stick pan. Fry the sandwich for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Finish Cooking: Reduce the heat, cover the pan, and gently cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes to ensure the sandwich is heated through and the cheese is melted.
- Serve: Transfer the sandwich to a plate, cut in half, and sprinkle generously with powdered sugar.
