Gourmet Monte Cristo (Print-Friendly Version)

# What You'll Need:

01 - 4 slices of Swiss cheese
02 - 4 slices of turkey
03 - 2 large eggs
04 - 4 slices of ham
05 - 4 slices of white bread
06 - 1/4 cup milk
07 - Powdered sugar for sprinkling
08 - Raspberry jam on the side
09 - A little salt and pepper
10 - 2 tablespoons butter (unsalted)

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Layer 2 slices of turkey, 2 slices of ham, and 2 slices of cheese between two pieces of bread for each sandwich.
02 - Press down on the sandwiches to keep them together. Cut the crusts off if you'd like.
03 - Use a shallow dish to beat the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth.
04 - Warm up the butter in a big pan over medium heat.
05 - Dip both sides of each sandwich in the egg mix, making sure it's fully covered.
06 - Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook about 3–4 minutes on each side until they're nice and golden.
07 - Once done, set the sandwiches on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb the oil.
08 - Before eating, sprinkle with powdered sugar. Cut into halves and serve warm with raspberry jam for dipping.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - Thick bread works great because it won’t fall apart after soaking up the egg.
02 - Switch up the flavors by using roast beef or chicken instead of turkey or ham.
03 - Try a different dip like strawberry jam or maple syrup for a unique twist.
04 - For a richer taste, spread mayo or mustard thinly on the bread before adding the fillings.
