Recipe Introduction
Jami and I use to eat these at a beautiful tearoom in Meridian, Idaho when I would visit her. Those were special times for a special friendship between kindred spirits.
List of Ingredients
18 slices of a good, crusty bread (not doughy bread because the egg will soak through)
Butter
6 slices ham
6 slices turkey or chicken
12 slices Swiss or Gruyere cheese
A little mustard and mayonnaise, if desired (I mix them together and spread.)
3 eggs
1/3 cup milk
1/8 teaspoon salt
Recipe
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.
