This fried sandwich contains turkey and ham.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 18 slices bread
  • butter
  • 6 slices ham
  • 6 slices turkey or chicken
  • 12 slices Swiss or Gruyere cheese
  • a little mustard and mayonnaise, if desired
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

PREPARATION:

For each sandwich use 3 slices of bread. Butter one side of bread first, then cover with a slice of ham and a slice of turkey or chicken. Butter both sides of the second slice of bread and spread with a little mustard or other dressing, if desired. Place on top of turkey or ham slice and top with 2 thin slices of cheese. Butter third slice for top; press sandwich lightly and trim crusts. Cut into halves diagonally and secure with toothpicks.

Beat eggs with milk and salt. Dip sandwich halves into the egg mixture and fry on a hot skillet or griddle in butter or margarine. Brown on all sides, adding more butter when necessary. Remove toothpicks before serving.
Makes 6 sandwiches, 12 cut triangles, to serve 4.
