Spread mayonnaise on 6 slices of bread. Place cheese on each slice and layer the ham on top of each slice. Build the sandwich with 3 slices each, 2 slices of ham between each layer. Take a cutting board or plate and press down on each sandwich firmly. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and milk. Melt the butter in a large saute pan over medium heat. Dip each sandwich quickly into the mixture. They need to be coated, but not soaked. Place the sandwiches in the saute pan with the butter. Cook until the bread is toasted and the cheese has melted, then carefully turn the sandwich and repeat. When done, remove from the pan and cut the sandwiches in half. Dust with powdered sugar and a side of raspberry jam. ------------------------------------------------------ DISCLAIMER: This description contains affiliate links, which means that if you click on a product link, you’ll receive a small commission.
