4 tablespoons butter, softened
8 slices Atkins Bakery White Bread or Rye Bread
4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
8 ounces smoked ham slices
8 ounces Swiss cheese slices
8 ounces roasted turkey breast slices
4 eggs
1/3 cup cream plus 3 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1. Spread 4 slices of bread with mustard. Divide ham,
cheese, and turkey slices over bread. Top with
remaining bread slices and press down to flatten
slightly.
2. Mix eggs, cream mixture and salt in a shallow bowl. Melt
butter on a griddle or in 2 skillets over medium heat. Dip
each sandwich into batter, coating well.
3. Cook sandwiches 3-4 minutes per side until golden
brown. Press down lightly with a spatula once or twice
during cooking time to melt the cheese.
When served with a green salad, this filling sandwich makes a
perfect light supper. Traditionally made with three slices of bread
per sandwich, our carb controlled version uses only two.
