Monte Cristo Sandwich - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    8 slices bread (I use challah)
    4 teaspoons honey dijon mustard
    8 slices thin deli sliced swiss cheese
    8 slices thin deli ham
    8 slices thin deli sliced turkey (I like smoked)
    3 large eggs
    2 tablespoons flour
    1 tablespoon melted butter
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    2 tablespoons milk (low fat to try to keep it low in fat!)
    powdered sugar, for dusting
    raspberry preserves, for dipping
Preparation
    Heat oven to 425\u00b0F.
    Lightly butter a baking sheet pan. I use the spray.
    Spread 1/2 teaspoon mustard on each slice of bread.
    Layer between mustard sides of two slices of bread, 1 slice cheese, 2 slices ham, 2 slices turkey, and another slice of cheese.
    Repeat to make four sandwiches. Whisk eggs, flour, butter, salt and pepper in a shallow dish until smooth.
    Blend in milk.
    DIP both sides of sandwiches into egg mixture until bread is lightly soaked.
    Place on baking sheet; drizzle any remaining egg mixture over top of sandwiches.
    Bake 8-10 minutes until bottom is golden brown.
    Turn with wide spatula and continue baking 8-10 minutes or until second side is golden brown.
    Serve warm dusted with powdered sugar and dip or spread raspberry preserves on sandwiches.
    Garnish with fresh raspberries.
