 Categories: Breads, Cheese, Pork, Poultry
      Yield: 4 Servings

      3 tb Mayonnaise
      2 tb Dijon mustard
      8 sl White bread
    1/2 lb Emmental cheese; thin sliced
      6 oz Cooked ham; thin sliced
      6 oz Deli turkey; thin sliced
      3 lg Eggs; lightly beaten
    1/4 ts Kosher salt
      3 tb Unsalted butter; more if
           - needed
           Confectioners' sugar; to
           - serve
           Raspberry jam; to serve (optional)

  In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and mustard. Spread a
  spoonful of the mixture on the insides of each piece of bread.

  On four of the slices, layer half the Swiss, followed by all of the
  ham and turkey, and finally the remaining Swiss. Trim ingredients
  to fit, if necessary. Top with the remaining bread slices.

  On a rimmed plate, whisk together the eggs and salt and set aside.
  Heat the butter in a large (12") skillet over medium-low heat. When
  it begins to sizzle, dip two of the sandwiches into the egg mixture
  on both sides; the bread should be evenly coated but not soggy. Add
  two of the sandwiches to the skillet, pressing them down gently
  with a spatula. Cover and cook until golden brown on the bottom, 2
  to 3 minutes, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other
  side, 1 to 2 minutes more.

  Transfer the cooked sandwiches to a plate and repeat with the
  second batch, adding another tablespoon of butter if the pan looks
  dry. Dust sandwiches lightly with confectioners' sugar, cut them in
  half and serve with raspberry jam for dipping, if desired.
