How To Make thanksgiving monte cristos for two

• 
  Step 1
  If using leftover meat, measure and go to step 2. If using fresh turkey or chicken, slice turkey or chicken in half horizontally, creating thin cutlets. Heat 1/2 Tbsp oil in a skillet over med-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper and saute for 5 min or until no longer pink in the center. Remove and reserve on a plate.
• 
  Step 2
  In a shallow dish, whisk egg, milk, nutmeg, and cinnamon together until blended.
• 
  Step 3
  Spread cranberry sauce or mustard on one side of each slice of bread and place sauce side up on the work surface.
• 
  Step 4
  Layer 2 slices with a piece of cheese, spinach, pear or apple, turkey or chicken, and another piece of cheese.
• 
  Step 5
  Top with the remaining slice of bread, sauce side down. Gently press together. You should now have 2 sandwiches.
• 
  Step 6
  Heat remaining oil in the skillet over med-high heat. Use a wide spatula to carefully dip each sandwich into the egg mix, coating both sides. You can help it along with a brush if you would like to or if you feel that you need more egg mixture, double up on the milk, eggs, nutmeg, and cinnamon as well.

  Step 7
  Place in a hot skillet. Saute turning once in about 5 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from heat and cut sandwich on an angle.
• 
  Step 8
  Arrange the sandwiches on a plate and dust with 1 Tbsp of powdered sugar each. If you wish, you can have extra sauce on the side for dipping or spreading onto the sandwich.
