Description
Delicious and savory French toast sandwiches filled with roasted turkey, black forest ham, and melted Gruyère cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup whole milk
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
- 8 slices thick-cut country bread
- ¾ pound deli-sliced roasted turkey
- ¾ pound deli-sliced black forest ham
- 1½ cups shredded Gruyère cheese
- ¼ cup vegetable oil, (for frying)
- 2 tablespoons confectioners sugar
- ¼ cup raspberry jam
Instructions
- In a large shallow bowl whisk together the eggs, milk and salt.
- In a small bowl stir together the maple syrup and whole grain mustard until combined and set aside.
- Lay 4 slices of the bread on a clean workspace. Divide the slices of turkey among the slices of bread followed by the slices of ham. Top with the Gruyère.
- On the remaining slices of bread, spread 1 tablespoon of the maple syrup mixture on each. Close the sandwiches and gently press down to keep the sandwich together.
- Working one at a time, dip each sandwich into the egg mixture then carefully flip it so it’s coated on both sides. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches.
- Add the oil to a sauté pan, heat over medium heat until the oil looks shiny. Working one sandwich at a time, add to the oil and fry until golden brown, turning the heat down if the sandwich browns too quickly, about 3 minutes.
- Carefully flip and continue to fry until golden brown and the cheese is melted, about an additional 3 to 4 minutes.
- Remove to a cooling rack set over a paper-towel lined baking sheet and repeat with the remaining sandwiches.
- Cut sandwiches into halves or quarters. Add the confectioners sugar to a sifter or a fine mesh strainer and gently tap to dust the sandwiches with the sugar.
- Serve immediately with a side of raspberry jam.
Notes
- Ensure the pan is properly heated before frying to achieve a nice golden brown crust.
- If desired, serve with a side of fresh fruit for added sweetness.
