Ingredienser

8 slices sturdy white bread (like Texas toast or brioche)

4 tbsp Dijon mustard

8 slices Swiss cheese

8 slices deli ham

Vejledning

Spread 1/2 tbsp of Dijon mustard on each slice of bread.

On 4 slices of bread, layer 1 slice of Swiss cheese, 2 slices of ham, 2 slices of turkey, and 1 more slice of Swiss cheese. Top with the remaining bread slices, mustard side down, to make 4 sandwiches. Secure with toothpicks if needed.

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Melt 1 tbsp of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Dip each sandwich in the egg mixture, coating both sides thoroughly.

Place the battered sandwiches in the hot skillet and cook until golden brown on the bottom, about 3-4 minutes. Flip, adding more butter to the pan if needed, and cook until the second side is golden brown and the cheese is melted, another 3-4 minutes.

Remove the toothpicks, if using. Cut the sandwiches in half diagonally and transfer to serving plates. Dust generously with powdered sugar.

Serve the Monte Cristo sandwiches warm with raspberry preserves on the side for dipping.
