4

Ingredients

18 slices bread
butter
6 slices ham
6 slices Turkey or chicken
12 slices Swiss or Gruyere cheese
8 little mustard and mayonnaise, if desired
3 eggs
1/3 c. milk
1/8 teaspoon salt

Preparation

Step 1

For each sandwich use 3 slices of bread. Butter one side of bread first, then cover with 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.
