Marco Polo Sandwich
Prep: 5 min Cook: 5 min Servings: 1by B Innes83 recipes>Like many food items the Marco Polo Sandwich is another of those not quite exact recipes that has been translated into various incarnations. Many years ago we began a brunch menu in a restaurant I was working at and we served one with three slices of bread with mayo, turkey and jack cheese a slice of bread then a thin slice of fresh pineapple, cut on a bias the two halves were dunked into a waffle batter and deep fried and served with red currant jelly. It was a big favorite. I have seen various other versions from very simple to quite involved. My version is a little easier to make and just as tasty. Ingredients
- 2 slices of white bread
- Raspberry jam
- 2 ounces thinly slice turkey breast
- 1 thick slice aged cheddar cheese
- 1 - 2 Eggs
- 1/4 tsp Vanilla
- salt & pepper
- 1 Tbs of butter
Directions
- Preheat a frying pan on medium heat and add a Tbs of butter just before cooking.
- Use enough eggs to make a soaking batter for as many sandwiches as you are making. For each 2 - 4 eggs add 1/4 tsp vanilla and salt and pepper to season the batter.
- Take the bread slices and spread jam on the inside of both slices. Place the turkey on top of one slice and very lightly season with salt & pepper. Place the cheddar slice on the other piece of bread. Combine both halves to form a sandwich. Place in the egg batter to allow the bread to soak in the egg batter on each side.
- Place into the frying pan, cover the pan and cook until lightly browned on both sides and the cheese is melted.
- Try serving with maple syrup or dusting the halves with powdered sugar for an elegant presentation.
