🥪 Savory Monte Cristo Sandwich
🧾 Ingredients (2 sandwiches)
4 slices of bread (white or brioche works best)
2 slices ham
2 slices turkey (or chicken)
2–4 slices Swiss cheese (or any melty cheese)
2 large eggs
¼ cup milk
1 tbsp Dijon mustard (optional but recommended)
Salt & black pepper (to taste)
1–2 tbsp butter (for frying)
Optional (but classic touch):
Powdered sugar (light dusting)
Jam or honey (for serving)
👩🍳 Instructions
Assemble the sandwiches
Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on the bread (optional).
Layer ham, turkey, and cheese between slices of bread.
Prepare egg mixture
In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
Dip the sandwiches
Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, coating both sides (like French toast).
Cook
Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Cook sandwiches for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese is melted.
Serve
Slice in half and serve warm.
Optional: dust lightly with powdered sugar and serve with jam for that classic sweet-savory combo.
🔥 Tips
Use thick bread so it doesn’t fall apart when dipped.
Press slightly while cooking to help everything melt together.
Add a slice of cheese on the outside for an extra crispy crust.
