Ingredients

• 4 slices Light whole-grain bread
• 4 slices Thinly sliced low-fat ham
• 4 slices Thinly sliced low-fat turkey
• 2 slices Low-fat Swiss cheese
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or skim milk)
• 0.25 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons Low-sugar fruit preserves (optional, for dipping)
• 1 spray Nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Lay out 4 slices of whole-grain bread on a clean surface. On two of the slices, layer 2 slices of low-fat ham, 2 slices of low-fat turkey, and 1 slice of low-fat Swiss cheese. Top with the remaining bread slices to form 2 sandwiches.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

Step 3

Lightly coat a nonstick skillet or griddle with cooking spray and preheat it over medium heat.

Step 4

Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated but not overly saturated to avoid sogginess.

Step 5

Place the sandwiches onto the preheated skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Press gently with a spatula to help the sandwich cook evenly.

Step 6

Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool slightly. If desired, sprinkle with powdered sugar for garnish.

Step 7

Slice each sandwich in half and serve warm with a side of low-sugar fruit preserves for dipping.
