Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large flour tortillas
- 8 slices sliced ham
- 8 slices sliced turkey
- 8 slices Swiss cheese
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 4 tablespoons raspberry jam
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until combined. Set aside.
Lay out the tortillas on a clean surface. Spread 1 tablespoon of the mayo-mustard mixture onto one half of each tortilla.
Layer 2 slices of ham, 2 slices of turkey, and 2 slices of Swiss cheese on the mayo-covered side of each tortilla.
Fold the tortillas in half, pressing gently to create a half-moon shape.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Dip one folded tortilla into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated but not overly saturated.
Place the coated tortilla into the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, adding the second tablespoon of butter to the skillet as needed.
Once all the folds are cooked, transfer them to a serving plate and lightly dust with powdered sugar.
Serve immediately with raspberry jam on the side for dipping, and enjoy your Monte Cristo Folds!
