Ingredients

• 12 slices sliced white bread
• 6 slices sliced roasted turkey breast
• 6 slices Monterey Jack cheese
• 3 tablespoons dijon mustard
• 2 large eggs
• 0.25 cups milk
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 0.5 cups cranberry sauce
• 1 teaspoons powdered sugar (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Using a rolling pin, gently flatten each slice of white bread until thin and even. Trim off crusts if desired for uniformity.

Step 2

Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on each slice of bread.

Step 3

Cut the turkey slices and Monterey Jack cheese slices in half to form smaller portions that fit the size of the bread slices.

Step 4

Create each mini sandwich by layering half a slice of turkey and half a slice of Monterey Jack cheese on top of one piece of bread. Place another piece of bread on top to form a sandwich. Repeat for all slices.

Step 5

In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper to create the coating mixture.

Step 6

Dip each mini sandwich in the egg mixture, ensuring all sides are coated evenly. Let excess mixture drip off before cooking.

Step 7

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt one tablespoon of butter. Cook the sandwiches in batches, about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and heated through. Add more butter to the skillet as needed for subsequent batches.

Step 8

Remove sandwiches from skillet and allow to cool slightly. Cut each sandwich into quarters to create bite-sized pieces.

Step 9

Serve warm with cranberry sauce as a dipping accompaniment. For a festive touch, sprinkle with a light dusting of powdered sugar, if desired.
