Description

This classic sandwich takes me back to cozy diners on road trips with my parents—golden, warm, and just a little indulgent. A Monte Cristo is like the lovechild of a grilled cheese and French toast, with savory ham and turkey hugged by melty Swiss and dipped in a custard batter. Whether for brunch or a lazy afternoon treat, it’s always a crowd-pleaser.


Ingredients

Scale

2 slices bread

1 tsp mayonnaise

1 tsp prepared mustard

2 slices cooked ham

2 slices cooked turkey

1 slice Swiss cheese

1 large egg

½ cup milk


Instructions

Spread mayo on one slice of bread and mustard on the other.

Layer ham, turkey, and Swiss cheese between the slices.

In a shallow bowl, whisk together egg and milk.

Dip the sandwich into the egg mixture, coating both sides.

Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it.

Cook the sandwich 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and the cheese melts.

Slice and serve warm—powdered sugar or jam optional for a sweet twist!

Notes

Golden, melty, and full of comfort—this sandwich is a bite of nostalgia with a crispy, delicious crunch!
