Ingredients
- 4 slices of bread
- 2 slices of turkey
- 2 slices of ham
- 2 slices of cheese
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- Powdered sugar for dusting
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and prepare your workspace by laying out the bread, meats, and cheese.
- Create two sandwiches by layering one slice of turkey, one slice of ham, and one slice of cheese between two slices of bread for each sandwich.
- Trim the crusts off the sandwiches to create a neat, uniform shape, ensuring the fillings are securely enclosed.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until well combined, creating a smooth batter for dipping.
- Heat oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C), ensuring the oil is deep enough to fully submerge the sandwiches.
- Carefully dip each sandwich completely into the egg mixture, coating all sides evenly and allowing excess batter to drip off.
- Gently place the battered sandwich into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.
- Remove the fried sandwiches and place on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Once slightly cooled, dust generously with powdered sugar using a fine mesh sifter.
- Slice diagonally and serve warm, optionally with raspberry jam or powdered sugar for additional garnish.
Tips
- • Temperature is key: Ensure your oil is precisely 350°F for that perfect golden-brown exterior without burning. • Use fresh, slightly thick-cut bread to help the sandwich hold its shape during frying. • Pat your sandwiches dry before battering to help the egg mixture adhere better. • Don't overcrowd the pan – fry one sandwich at a time for even cooking. • Let the sandwiches rest for a minute after frying to allow the crispy exterior to set. • Use a fine mesh sifter for an even, elegant dusting of powdered sugar. • Serve immediately for the best texture and temperature. • For an authentic Disneyland touch, serve with a side of raspberry jam for dipping.
