Instructions
-
Lay the 4 slices of the bread out on a cutting board. On each slice, spread 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise and 2 tablespoons of cranberry sauce.
-
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the fontina, followed by 2 slices of the turkey on half of each sandwich.
-
Divide the arugula among the sandwiches and sprinkle each sandwich with 2 more tablespoons of fontina over the arugula. Top with final bread slice and press down firmly to seal in the filling.
-
In a large casserole dish, beat the eggs, milk and nutmeg.
-
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the butter. Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, coating both sides.
-
When butter is melted and foamy in the skillet, add the sandwiches and cook on each side until golden brown.

Remove from pan, drain on paper towels and rest for a few minutes. Cut in half and serve.
