  1. Lay out two slices of bread. Top one slice with 2-3 slices of turkey, 1-2 slices of cheese, and 2-3 slices of ham.
  2. Top with the remaining slice of bread to create a sandwich.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 large egg with 1 tablespoon of milk or water.
  4. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  5. Dip the sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated.
  6. Carefully place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.
  7. Remove from skillet and spread a generous layer of strawberry jam on top.
  8. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
