Method
- 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.
Pro 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.
Why the air fryer wins here
- Ready in 12 minutes. The same dish takes about 19 in a conventional oven, plus preheating.
- Fast-moving hot air browns the outside before the inside dries out, so you get color without babysitting.
- Cleanup is a basket, not a sheet pan and a splattered stovetop.
Storing and reheating
Refrigerate perishable leftovers within 2 hours, or within 1 hour above 90°F. Reheat leftovers to 165°F (74°C) throughout, measured with a food thermometer. USDA leftover safety guidance.
Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes rather than the microwave so the outside crisps back up. See the reheat guide for exact times by food.
