Remove from the skillet and dust with powdered sugar, if desired. Serve immediately with a side of berry jam for dipping. (2 minutes)
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a thin spread of fig jam or cranberry sauce to the sandwich before grilling.
Use day-old bread for best results. It will soak up the egg mixture without becoming soggy.
If you don't have Swiss cheese, Gruyere or Emmental cheese make excellent substitutes.
For a vegetarian option, replace the ham and turkey with roasted vegetables such as zucchini, bell peppers, and eggplant.
