Ingredients
Equipment
Steps
- 1
Spread Dijon mustard on the inside of each bread slice, then layer turkey, ham, and Swiss cheese to build two sandwiches.
- 2
Whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon in a shallow dish.
- 3
Dip each assembled sandwich into the egg batter, coating both sides evenly and letting excess drip off.
- 4
Lightly spray the air fryer basket and place the sandwiches inside.
- 5
Air fry at 380°F for 5-6 minutes per side until the coating is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted.
- 6
Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately with raspberry jam for dipping.
Tip: Don't over-soak the bread in the egg batter or it will turn soggy rather than crispy. A quick dip on each side is all you need.
