A sandwich named after a book about revenge

It's kiiiiinda like french toast except that is has no sugar. But on the plus side, it has meat and cheese. Here the sexy part: it's Deep. Fried. I'll wait while you clean yourself off.....

I don't typically measure egg to milk ratios except if I'm baking a custard, but typically 1 egg to 1 cup of milk per sandwich. Mix the eggs and milk until it is a uniform pale yellow. Salt and white pepper, and perhaps some cayenne can join the party too. What ever flavors you like.

Butter each slice of bread. This will help protect the bread from getting soggy from the egg while it is cooking(I forgot this step at work today- on all 50 sandwiches). Add a nice mild melty cheese of your choice(American, Swiss, Provolone) on either side off your sandwich. Now historically, there is ham and turkey in this sandwich. Oh! I forgot! Some recipes have you spread mustard on your sandwich before you cook it. Honey mustard sounds nice, doesn't it?
Heat a fryer to 370F. Dip your sandwich in the egg mixture. And gently swirl it in the hot oil before you entire let it go so it doesn't sink to the bottom of your fryer/fry basket and get stuck. With tongs! Not your fingers! Cook for about 2 minutes of until golden brown and delicious. Pop open an hard cider or have a Reisling (if you're feeling fancy). Enjoy. But I mean if you just want a beer and not have a sandwich, I'm okay with that too.
