Main Ingredients

4 slices Bread preferably white or brioche
2 slices Ham
2 slices Turkey
2 slices Swiss Cheese
2 Eggs beaten
1/4 cup Milk
1 tbsp Butter
1 tbsp Powdered Sugar for dusting

Instructions:

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.
2. Assemble the sandwiches by layering ham, turkey, and cheese between two slices of bread.
3. Dip each sandwich in the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides well.
