Monte Cristo Sandwiches

By dpearce

Ingredients

• 6 eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 pound thinly sliced deli turkey
• 1/2 pound thinly sliced deli ham
• 8 (1-ounce) slices Swiss cheese
• 16 slices egg bread (challah)
• 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter

Preparation

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk eggs and milk until well combined.

Equally divide the turkey, ham and Swiss cheese on 8 slices of bread. Top with remaining slices of bread.

In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Dip two sandwiches, one at a time, in the egg mixture, coating completely. Place in skillet and cook 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until egg is golden and cheese is melted.

Repeat with remaining sandwiches, adding more butter as needed. Serve sandwiches immediately.
Serving Tip
We suggest slicing these on the diagonal and serving with cranberry sauce on the side for dipping.
