- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 6 tablespoons strawberry jam or 6 tablespoons raspberry jam

Directions
-
Position oven rack in the upper-middle position; preheat to 450°.

In a shallow dish (pie plate), whisk the eggs, cream, sugar, salt, dry mustard and cayenne together until combined.
-
Stir the jam and dijon mustard together in a small bowl.
-
Spread 1 teaspoon of the jam mixture on one side of each slice of toast.
-
Layer the slices of cheese, ham, and turkey on 6 slices of toast; repeat with a second layer of cheese, ham, and turkey.
-
Add a final layer of cheese and top with the remaining toast, with the jam side facing the cheese.
-
Using your hands, lightly press down on the sandwiches.
-
Pour the oil onto a rimmed baking sheet and heat in the oven until just smoking, about 7 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, using two hands, coat each sandwich with the egg mixture and transfer to a large plate.
-
Transfer the sandwiches to the preheated baking sheet and bake until golden brown on both sides, 4 to 5 minutes per side, using a spatula to flip.

Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve immediately with the remaining jam mixture for dipping.
