Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices White or brioche bread
- 4 slices Deli ham
- 4 slices Deli turkey
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Half-and-half or milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Raspberry preserves
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your broiler to high and position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half (or milk), salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Lay out the bread slices. On two slices, layer 2 slices of Swiss cheese, 2 slices of ham, and 2 slices of turkey. Top with the remaining bread slices to form sandwiches.
Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, coating both sides evenly. Let excess egg mixture drip off before placing the sandwich on a plate.
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the sandwiches and cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until lightly golden and crisp. Remove from the skillet and place onto the prepared baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler and broil for 1-2 minutes per side to achieve a crispy, golden finish on both sides. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven and transfer the sandwiches to a cutting board. Cut each sandwich diagonally to form triangles.
Dust the sandwiches with powdered sugar for a classic Monte Cristo touch.
Serve immediately with raspberry preserves on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
