Start by mixing 3 teaspoons of baking powder, 3 tablespoons of sugar, and a pinch of salt in a bowl.

Crack 2 eggs into a bowl and whisk them until well mixed.

Add 2 cups of half and half to the egg mixture and mix well until smooth.

Incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until there are no lumps, adjusting with a little more flour if the batter is too thin.

Heat a stargazer skillet with about 1.75 inches of oil for deep frying.

Toast the inside of the bread in a skillet with butter until lightly browned.

Layer sliced pepper jack cheese and swiss cheese on the toasted side of the bread.

Spread Duke's mayonnaise on the cheese and drizzle honey dijon mustard over it.

Add 4 slices of turkey on one side and 4 slices of ham on the other side of the sandwich.

Close the sandwich and prepare to dip it into the batter.
