Equipment

Large frying pan
Shallow bowl or pie plate

Ingredients

4 whole wheat waffles
4 slices deli Swiss cheese or 1/2 cups shredded
4 ounce thin-sliced deli ham
4 ounce thin-sliced deli turkey breast
3 tablespoon raspberry jam
1 large egg
2 tablespoon whole milk
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

Build the sandwiches by topping two waffles with cheese slices, sliced ham, sliced turkey, and remaining cheese slices. Evenly spread jam on the other two waffles and place on top to compete the sandwich.
Whisk the egg and milk in a shallow bowl or pie plate.
Bring a large frying pan to medium heat. Melt butter in heated pan.
Dredge both the top and bottom of one sandwich in the egg batter, then place it in the frying pan. Firmly press down with a large spatula and cook until the sandwich is browned, about 2 minutes. Flip the sandwich and cook the other side until browned and the cheese is melted, about another 2 minutes.
Repeat the process with the other sandwich.
Dust sandwiches lightly with powdered sugar, cut sandwiches in half, and serve immediately.
