Easy Monte Cristo Sandwich
This Monte Cristo sandwich is a delightful culinary escapade, packed with the comforting flavors of ham, turkey, and Swiss cheese, lovingly nestled between eggy, toasted bread slices. A quick dip in a milk and egg mixture and fry it to a golden brown crispiness that sings. A sprinkle of powdered sugar and a dollop of jam on the side transform this sandwich from merely satisfying to truly sublime. In a shallow dish, whisk together the egg and milk, then season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Start by spreading Dijon mustard over two slices of bread. Layer each with ham, turkey, and Swiss cheese, then top with the remaining bread slices to form your sandwiches. Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt some butter in it. Quickly dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated but not soggy. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook until golden brown on each side, about 3-4 minutes per side. Once cooked, cut each sandwich in half and dust lightly with powdered sugar. Serve immediately with a side of raspberry or strawberry jam for dipping.
Storing Leftovers
To store any leftover Monte Cristo sandwiches, wrap them tightly in aluminum foil or place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days. While you can freeze them, I recommend against it as the bread may become soggy once thawed.
