Monte Cristo Sandwiches

I made these last week and I didn't make enough of them. We (Kathryn's family) loved them. It was a fun change up for dinner. You can half this recipe for small numbers. I have doubled the original recipe here.

Slices of bread for 5 to 7 sandwiches
Dijon or honey mustard
Slices Mozzarella cheese
Slices of deli ham
Slices of turkey breast
4 eggs
1/2 milk
4 T. maple syrup
Salt, pepper, and nutmeg
Powdered sugar
Blackberry jam

Spread mustard on both sides of each sandwich slice. I went light with the mustard. Put slices of cheese, ham and turkey and make the sandwiches.
In a separate bowl combine, egg, milk, maple syrup, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Coat sandwiches in egg mixture. I recommend not dunking them too much. If the sandwich gets to saturated, it takes a long time to cook through. Cook in frying pan in hot butter until cheese is melted and bread in golden brown. When sandwich is done, sprinkle with a dusting of powdered sugar. Serve with blackberry jam on the side for dipping.
