Ingredients
- 4 slices Sara Lee Country Potato Bakery Bread
- 4 slices Sara Lee Baby Swiss Cheese
- 2 slices Sara Lee Oven Roasted Breast of Turkey
- 2 slices Sara Lee Virginia Brand Baked Ham
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- Confectioners' sugar, for dusting (optional)
Directions
- Lay bread slices on work surface. On 2 bread slices, place 1 slice cheese, 1 slice turkey, 1 slice ham, and 1 more slice of cheese; top each with remaining bread slice.
- Using a 5-by-4-inch ghost-shaped cookie cutter, cut out a ghost-shaped sandwich; repeat with remaining ingredients. Set aside.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, and salt.
- In a large nonstick skillet, heat butter and olive oil over medium-low heat. Dip each sandwich in egg mixture to coat well on both sides, and place in skillet. Cook, turning once, until golden brown and cheese is melted, about 4 minutes per side. Serve immediately, dusted with confectioners' sugar, if desired.
These did not work that well for me, probably because we don't have Sara Lee here, but I substituted deli ham and deli turkey, and some nice french emmentaler cheese, however, the sandwiches didn't work out they kind of fell apart.
Just made these sandwiches and they were delicious! Both of my boys loved them. Great and easy recipe.
