Monte Cristo sandwich Recipe

French-American · Main course · 18 min total

A classic French-inspired sandwich with ham, turkey, and Swiss cheese, dipped in egg batter and fried until golden. This recipe delivers a crispy, savory-sweet delight with a dusting of powdered sugar and a side of raspberry jam.

Ingredients

• 8 slices white bread
• 4 slices deli ham
• 4 slices deli turkey
• 4 slices Swiss cheese
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons butter
• Powdered sugar, for dusting
• Raspberry jam, for serving

Instructions

1. Lay out 4 slices of bread. Top each with 1 slice ham, 1 slice turkey, and 1 slice Swiss cheese. Cover with remaining bread slices to make 4 sandwiches.
2. In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
4. Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, turning to coat both sides. Let excess drip off.
5. Place 2 sandwiches in the skillet. Cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining butter and sandwiches.
6. Cut sandwiches diagonally. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with raspberry jam on the side.

Tips

• Use day-old bread for better texture.
• For extra crispiness, use a panini press instead of a skillet.
• Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
