Preparation

Step 1

Spread 4 bread slices with a thin swath of mustard. Layer on a slice each of cheese, ham, turkey, and a final slice of cheese. Top with remaining bread slices and compact the sandwich gently with your hands.

In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.

Dip each sandwich in egg mixture, turning carefully until well coated.

Melt butter in a large skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. When hot, add sandwiches, and cook until golden brown on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side.

Cut on a diagonal and serve immediately.
