Step 1
Mix the mustard and mayo in a small bowl, then spread over each slice of bread. Top one slice with the ham, turkey and cheese, then sandwich with the remaining slice of bread.Step 2
Whisk the egg and milk in a wide, shallow bowl or dish. Soak the sandwich in the egg mixture, leaving for a few minutes on each side until all the egg has been absorbed by the bread.Step 3
Melt the butter in a frying pan. When it’s sizzling, add the sandwich and cook for 4-5 mins on each side until golden brown. If you have a sandwich or burger press, use this to weigh the sandwich down. If not, place a heavy lid on top to compress the sandwich and help melt the cheese. Cut in half to serve.
