Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Sandwich bread (white or brioche, preferably thick-cut)
- 4 ounces Sliced deli ham
- 4 ounces Sliced deli turkey
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Powdered sugar (optional for garnish)
- as needed Maple syrup or raspberry preserves (for serving)
Instructions
Lay all 8 slices of bread on a clean counter or cutting board. On 4 slices, layer 1 ounce of ham, 1 ounce of turkey, and 1 slice of Swiss cheese. Top with the remaining bread slices to form 4 sandwiches.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt, coating the surface evenly.
Dip one sandwich at a time into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides thoroughly but not saturate the bread to the point of falling apart. Carefully transfer the sandwich to the skillet.
Cook each sandwich for 3 to 4 minutes on the first side, or until golden brown and crisp. Flip carefully with a spatula and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes on the other side, until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted. Add more butter to the skillet as needed for subsequent sandwiches.
Once cooked, transfer the sandwiches to a plate and allow them to rest for 1 minute. Optionally, dust the tops with powdered sugar for a sweet touch.
Serve immediately with maple syrup or raspberry preserves on the side for dipping or drizzling. Enjoy your delicious Ham and Turkey Monte Cristo Sandwiches!
