Monte Cristo Sandwiches

Step 1

Spread two slices of bread with raspberry jam, and the other two slices with Dijon mustard. Sprinkle each of the jam-topped slices with 1/4 cup shredded cheese. Then layer the jam-topped slices evenly with the sliced ham and sliced turkey. Add another 1/4 cup shredded cheese over the meat. Top each sandwich with the remaining two slices of bread, with the mustard sides down.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon and nutmeg until blended.

Step 3

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Dip both sides of the sandwiches in the egg batter, then quickly place them in the hot butter in the skillet. Cook the sandwiches until golden brown and cheese is melted, two to three minutes per side.

Step 4

Dust the sandwiches with confectioners' sugar. Serve warm with extra raspberry jam on the side for dipping.
