Servings: 4 sandwiches
Equipment
Ingredients
- 8 slices brioche bread
- 3 cups shredded Swiss cheese
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 lb thick sliced deli ham or sliced baked ham
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup half and half
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- Powdered sugar for dusting
- Raspberry preserve for serving (or preserve of choice)
Instructions
- Line your air fryer basket with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a small mixing bowl, mix together your cheese, mayonnaise and dijon mustard until well combined. Spread the cheese mixture on each piece of bread.
- Distribute your ham evenly on 4 pieces of the slathered bread. Top each with the remaining bread slices.
- In a shallow dish, combine the eggs, half and half and nutmeg. Mix well. Dip each sandwich into the egg wash, coating both sides well. Shake excess egg mixture off.
- Place sandwiches in basket. Set your air fryer at 350 degrees on the air fry setting and cook each sandwich for around 8 minutes, flipping the sandwich half way through. You may have to work in batches depending on air fryer size.
- Lightly dust your sandwiches with powdered sugar. Spread your preserves on top of the sandwich or place in a small bowl for dipping.
- Serve and enjoy!
