Monte Cristo Sandwiches
A Monte Cristo sandwich is a cross between a grilled cheese sandwich and French toast in my opinion, but they are delicious none the less. For people in larger cities with a deli, you should be able to find sliced cooked turkey or chicken, or just substitute with leftover roasted turkey or chicken that you sliced or shredded.
Ingredients
- 8 slices thick cut bread
- deli ham, thin sliced
- Swiss cheese, thin sliced
- deli turkey, thin sliced
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- mayo, optional
- mustard, optional
Instructions
- In a shallow dish, mix together the eggs and milk. Heat a large non stick pan to medium heat and add the butter and olive oil.
- Build the sandwiches (optional to spread mayo on one slice of bread and mustard on the other slice, top and bottom), add some ham, cheese, and turkey, amounts are up to you.
- Now take a sandwich, dip one side in the egg mixture and remove, flip over and dip the other side, place in the hot pan. Cook until gold brown on one side then flip over and brown that side. Patience is needed, don't flip too early. Serve with home made fries for a complete meal.
Notes
I cannot price this as I am not sure of the amounts used, essentially you can make these from leftovers so this is really an economical meal. Be generous on the deli ham and turkey. If you cannot find deli turkey, go with left over turkey or chicken and just shred that.
