Monte Cristo Sandwich Recipe

Step 1

In a wide bowl whisk your eggs, milk, nutmeg, and salt together.

Step 2

Spread 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 3

Now 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 4

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