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
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!
