Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Eight 1/2 inch thick slices challah bread or brioche
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
6 ounces smoked Gouda cheese, shredded
12 ounces thinly sliced cooked turkey breast
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup whole berry cranberry sauce or relish
3 large eggs
1/3 cup milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

To make the sandwiches: Lay the bread out on the work surface. Spread one side of each slice with the mustard. Spread half of the cheese on 4 slices of the bread. Cover with half of the turkey and season with salt and pepper to taste. Evenly spread the cranberry on the turkey on the sandwich. Top with the remaining turkey; season with salt and pepper to taste, and cover with the remaining cheese and bread. Press down slightly on each sandwich. In a lipped plate or dish, whisk together the eggs and milk, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat 2 large skillets over medium-low heat, add a tablespoon of both butter and oil to each pan. Dip and coat each of the sandwiches in the egg mixture and lay in the pans. Cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the sandwiches to a baking sheet and bake until the cheese is melted, about 6 to 8 minutes.

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the puff pastry, then cut into 1½-inch-wide strips.
Brush the raspberry jam over each strip.
Arrange a layer of half-slices of ham on a pastry strip with the straight edges at the center of the strip and the curved edges hanging over the edge of the pastry. Fold the exposed pastry over the ham. Sprinkle some Gruyère cheese over the ham. Starting from one short end, roll the pastry into a tight spiral. Secure the end with a toothpick, if desired. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and repeat with the remaining ingredients.
Brush the pastry roses with the beaten egg.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown.
Transfer the pastry roses to a serving platter and dust with powdered sugar.
Enjoy.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup leftover cranberry sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon chopped rosemary
8 slices brioche bread
6 ounces cooked turkey breast, sliced
8 thin slices Swiss cheese
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 cranberry sauce, 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. Divide the cheese slices among the bread. Divide the turkey over every other slice of bread. Sandwich the turkey and cheese slices together.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and salt.
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 for 3 to 4 minutes or until the first side is golden brown.
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. Cook in batches if needed. Sprinkle one side of each sandwich with powdered sugar and serve warm.
