MONTE CRISTO
2 servings
This sandwich is sometimes pan-fried, sometimes deep-fried, and sometimes served as a double decker. Regardless of the preparation, it is always epic.
Whisk together in a shallow bowl:
- ¼ cup milk
- 2 eggs
Lay out on a work surface:
- 4 slices white bread
Spread all 4 slices with:
- Softened butter
- Dijon mustard
Top 2 of the slices with:
- 4 thin slices ham
- 4 slices Swiss cheese or a layer of grated Gruyère
- 4 thin slices turkey
Place the remaining 2 slices of bread on top, buttered side down. Melt in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat:
- 2 tablespoons butter
Dip the sandwiches in the egg mixture on both sides. Place in the skillet and fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and cut in half on the diagonal. Serve sprinkled with:
- Powdered sugar
with a side of:
- Red currant jelly
