On a cutting board slice the crust off the slices of bread.
To build the sandwiches spread mustard and mayonnaise on two slices of bread. Top those two slices of bread with a slice of cheese and then 2 slices of ham on each slice of bread. Top the ham on each slice with another piece of bread. Then add 2 slices of turkey and another slice of cheese. Top with final piece of bread.
Next you will need to press the sandwich using the bottom of a frying pan or cutting board.
In a small bowl whisk together eggs, milk, and salt and pepper. Carefully dip each sandwich into mixture.
Preheat skillet over low heat and add butter. Melt butter in skillet then add the sandwich. Cook the first side 4-6 minutes or until golden brown, flip and cook an additional 4-5 minutes or until cooked through and cheese is melted.
Remove from pan and dust with powdered sugar if desired. You can also serve this with warm strawberry jam or maple syrup.
