Ingredients
Scale
- 12 slices of bread
- 8 oz sliced ham
- 8 oz sliced turkey
- 8 oz Swiss cheese, shredded
- 6 large eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- Powdered sugar for serving, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Lay 6 slices of bread in the bottom of the dish. Layer the ham, turkey, and Swiss cheese on top of the bread. Place the other 6 slices of bread on top to form a sandwich.
