INGREDIENTS
| 2 | tablespoons honey mustard, divided |
| 12 | thin slices white or egg bread, divided |
| 4 | ounces sliced deli turkey breast |
| 8 | thin slices (4 ounces) Swiss cheese, divided |
| 4 | ounces smoked sliced deli ham, divided |
| 2 | eggs, beaten |
| 1/4 | cup milk |
| 1/16 | teaspoon ground nutmeg |
| 2 | to 3 tablespoons butter or margarine |
| Powdered sugar | |
| Strawberry or raspberry preserves | |
PREPARATION:
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- To assemble 3-decker sandwich, spread 1/2 teaspoon mustard over 1 side of each of 3 bread slices. Place 1/4 of turkey and 1 cheese slice over mustard on 1 bread slice. Top with second bread slice, mustard side up.
- Place 1/4 of ham and 1 cheese slice on top of bread. Top with remaining bread slice, mustard side down, pressing gently together. Repeat with remaining mustard, bread, turkey, cheese and ham to make 4 sandwiches.
- Combine eggs, milk and nutmeg in shallow dish or pie plate.
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Dip both sides of each sandwich briefly in egg mixture, letting excess drip back into dish.
- Fry 1 sandwich at a time in skillet 4 minutes or until browned, turning halfway through cooking. Transfer sandwiches to greased or foil-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining sandwiches, adding butter to skillet as needed.
- Bake sandwiches 5 to 7 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted. Cut each sandwich in half diagonally; sprinkle lightly with powdered sugar. Serve immediately with preserves.
