Ingredients:
4 tablespoon butter softened

4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
8 ounces smoked ham slices

8 ounces roasted turkey breast slices
4 eggs

Directions: Spread 4 slices of bread with mustard. Divide ham, cheese, and turkey slices over bread. Top with remaining bread slices and press down to flatten slightly.

Mix eggs, cream mixture and salt in a shallow bowl. Melt butter on a griddle or in 2 skillets over medium heat. Dip each sandwich into batter, coating well.

Cook sandwiches 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown. Press down lightly with a spatula once or twice during cooking time to melt the cheese.
