Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, ⅓ cup whole milk, and ¼ teaspoon salt until well combined. Set aside. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
-
Step 2.
For each sandwich, spread 2 tablespoons softened goat cheese onto one slice of bread, then spread 1 tablespoon hot red pepper jelly over the goat cheese. Top with 2 thick slices of roasted turkey and another slice of bread. If desired, trim the crusts from the assembled sandwich. Generously brush the top of each sandwich with the egg mixture.
-
Step 3.
Add 2 tablespoons unsalted butter to the hot skillet; when it is melted and sizzling, place the sandwiches in the skillet, egg side down. Brush the top of each sandwich with the remaining egg mixture. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until the bottom is golden brown. Flip the sandwiches and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes, until both sides are golden brown and the cheese is melted. Cut each sandwich in half diagonally and serve immediately.
