Servings: persons

2 eggs
⅓ cup milk
1 tablespoon brandy
1 tablespoon honey
1 ½ tablespoons prepared mustard
4 slices bread (sourdough is delicious)
non-fat cooking spray
2 slices low-fat ham
2 slices lean turkey breast
2 slices reduced-fat swiss cheese
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
2 -3 tablespoons raspberry preserves

1
Stir the honey and mustard together in a small bowl.
2
Make two sandwiches: line up four slices of bread and spread 1/4 of the honey mustard on each slice; on two of the slices, place one piece each of ham, turkey and cheese (trim to fit on top of the bread and not hanging over), then top each meat-covered slice with one of the other slices of bread, honey-mustard side facing into the meat.
3
(O.K., you know how to make a sandwich by instinct - it's easier to do than explain.
4
).
5
Pour the milk in a large measuring cup and add the eggs and brandy; whisk together until the eggs are fully beaten.
6
Place the sandwiches in a rectangular casserole dish; pour the egg mixture over the top of the sandwiches,then flip over the sandwiches - moving them around the dish as necessary so the liquid gets absorbed on both sides.
7
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat, and spray with non-fat cooking spray; cook sandwiches 3-4 minutes on each side or until egg mixture is cooked through and bread is turning golden brown; remove from skillet and turn off heat.
8
Cut each sandwich in half diagonally; dust with powdered sugar and serve with warm raspberry preserves.
