Ingredients

4 servings

8 slices white sandwich bread
2 tbsp dijon mustard
6 oz thinly sliced deli turkey
6 oz thinly sliced deli ham
Chef's tip
Use the same amount straight from the pack; they're at their best in cold sandwiches and wraps.
6 oz swiss cheese, thinly sliced
3 tbsp unsalted butter, divided

For the batter

3 large eggs
Ingredient note
Eggs are safe during pregnancy as long as they are cooked all the way through.
½ cup whole milk
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper

For serving

2 tbsp powdered sugar, for dusting
½ cup raspberry jam, for serving

Instructions

1
Lay all 8 bread slices on a work surface. Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on one side of each slice.
2
Build 4 sandwiches: on the mustard side of one slice, layer one-quarter of the turkey, then one-quarter of the ham, then one-quarter of the Swiss cheese. Top with a second slice, mustard side down. Press each sandwich gently to compact.
