Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup seedless red raspberry jam
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
8 slices brioche bread
8 thin slices Swiss cheese
16 thin slices prosciutto cotto
4 large eggs, at room temperature
3/4 cup heavy cream, at room temperature
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons powdered sugar

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, mix together the jam, mustard and rosemary. Lay out the slices of bread. Divide the mustard mixture evenly over the 8 slices of bread and spread almost to the edges. Put a slice of cheese on each piece of bread, followed by 2 slices of prosciutto. Put together 2 of the bread slices for each sandwich.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs. Add the heavy cream and salt and whisk to combine.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the oil to the pan and heat for 1 minute. Working with one sandwich at a time, dip both sides of the sandwich in the batter and place directly into the hot pan. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches. Cover with a lid and allow to cook until the first side is golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the lid, flip each sandwich and continue to cook on the remaining side until golden brown and the cheese is melted, approximately another 4 minutes. (Or cook in batches if needed.)
  • Sprinkle one side of each sandwich with powdered sugar and serve warm.

  • For a richer flavor, use half-and-half or heavy cream instead of milk.
  • If you don't have cinnamon sugar, you can make your own by mixing together 1/2 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
