Ingredients
Batter:
- •6 free-range eggs
- •100 ml full-fat milk
- •1/2 tsp salt
- •2 tsp sugar
- •1/4 tsp ground turmeric
- •1 tsp garlic powder
- •1 tsp onion powder
Toppings:
- •6 slices white bread
- •3 slices cooked ham, turkey, or meat substitute such as Quorn
- •3 slices mild cheese
- •Vegetable oil, for frying
- •Tomato ketchup, for serving (optional)
Directions
Batter:
Put the eggs into a shallow bowl wide enough for the bread. Add the milk, salt, sugar, turmeric, garlic powder, and onion powder; mix thoroughly and leave 5 minutes so the powders dissolve.
Toppings:
Sandwich the bread with ham and cheese. Dip each sandwich in the egg mix, then let it sit briefly on a plate.
Heat a thin layer of vegetable oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Dip each sandwich again, fry about 3 minutes on one side until golden while the cheese starts to melt; flip and cook about 3 minutes more, pressing lightly.
Drain briefly, cut in half, and serve hot with ketchup if you like. Leftovers can be wrapped in foil and frozen.
