# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Spread Dijon mustard over two slices of bread. Layer each with two slices of ham, two slices of turkey, and two slices of Swiss cheese. Top with the remaining slices of bread to form sandwiches.
02 -
In a shallow dish, whisk together the egg, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
03 -
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook until golden brown on each side, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Cut each sandwich in half diagonally. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with raspberry or strawberry jam on the side.
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
Thick-sliced bread like brioche or challah works best for holding up to the egg mixture and frying process.
02 -
For a less sweet version, reduce the powdered sugar or choose a less sweet jam like blackberry or blueberry.
03 -
While Swiss cheese is traditional, feel free to try Gruyere or Emmental cheese for variation.
