We were visiting friends in Colorado and they served this for brunch. We absolutely flipped for these. I have made these on lazy weekends and my family really enjoys this. Ingredients:
2 large eggs |
1/2 cup milk |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
4 white bread, slices 1 inch thick |
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine |
4 tablespoons strawberry jam or 4 tablespoons red currant jelly |
4 ounces thinly sliced cooked turkey or 4 ounces chicken |
4 ounces thinly sliced smoked ham |
8 slices swiss cheese |
powdered sugar |
Directions:
1. Whisk together first 4 ingredients in a shallow dish.
2. Dip both sides of bread slices in egg mixture.
3. Melt butter in a large skillet; add bread slices, and cook 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
4. Spread 1 tablespoon strawberry jam on 1 side of each bread slice; top evenly with turkey, ham, and cheese.
5. Place on baking sheet.
6. Broil 5 inches from heat 2-3 minutes or until cheese is melted.
7. Sprinkle powdered sugar, if desired.
8. Serve immediately.
