Monte Cristo Sandwich

Lightly beat eggs and milk in a shallow bowl. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.

For each sandwich, lightly butter 3 slices of bread on both sides. Place 2 slices of turkey and 2 of ham between 2 slices of bread. Top with 2 slices of cheese and add last slice of bread. Trim crusts, secure with toothpicks, and cut in half on the diagonal.

Melt 2 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Dip sandwich halves, top and bottom, in batter. When butter foams, place sandwiches in skillet and fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Add remaining 2 tablespoon butter to skillet, turn sandwiches, and fry for 2 minutes more. Transfer to plates, sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar, and serve with jelly.
