The Monte Cristo is a French-toast style sandwich that's loaded with turkey, ham, and Swiss and is perfect for those who love the combination of sweet and savory!
INGREDIENTS
- 8 slices white bread
- 12 slices honey ham
- 12 slices turkey
- 8 slices swiss cheese
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise divided
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard divided
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- powdered sugar
- raspberry jam
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 225F.
- Beat the eggs, milk, and nutmeg in a large bowl and set aside.
- Evenly divide and spread the mayo and mustard onto one side of each piece of bread. Layer 3 slices of turkey, 3 slices of ham, and 2 slices of swiss cheese onto each sandwich and close them up with a top slice of bread.
- Heat the butter over medium-low heat in a large pan.
- Dip 2 sandwiches into the batter then drip off the excess and place into the hot pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until well browned. Place the sandwiches on a wire rack lined baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm. Repeat for the second batches of sandwiches, adding more butter if required.
- Sprinkle the sandwiches with powdered sugar and serve with raspberry jam. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
NOTES
- Setting the oven to ~225F and placing them on a baking sheet will keep the sandwiches warm while making multiple batches.
- Leftovers can be saved for up to 3 days in the fridge and can be reheated on a wire rack lined baking sheeti at 350F until hot.
