How To Make monte cristo sandwich
-
Step 1In a wide bowl whisk your eggs and milk together.
-
Step 2Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on 2 slices of bread and a 1 tablespoon mustard on the other 2 slices of bread. Now place one piece of Swiss Cheese on each slice of bread. Then layer each mayonnaise slice with 2 slices ham and 2 slices turkey. Bring the pieces of the bread together to form 2 full sandwiches. Using a cutting board gently compress the sandwich a bit.
-
Step 3Now melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium low heat. Dip each sandwich in the egg mixture; turning to coat both sides. Add the sandwich to the hot skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides. Cover the pan with a loose piece of aluminum foil to make sure the cheese melts and any egg mixture cooks through.

Step 4If desired sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve with a side of strawberry or raspberry jam.
