Serves: 8

Cooking Time: 20 min

Ingredients

• 6 eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 pound thinly sliced deli turkey
• 1/2 pound thinly sliced deli ham
• 8 (1-ounce) slices Swiss cheese
• 16 slices egg bread (challah)
• 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk eggs and milk until well combined.
   
   
2. Equally divide the turkey, ham and Swiss cheese on 8 slices of bread. Top with remaining slices of bread.
   
   
3. In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Dip two sandwiches, one at a time, in the egg mixture, coating completely. Place in skillet and cook 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until egg is golden and cheese is melted.
