Baked Monte Cristo Sandwich Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°F.
• Fill bread slices with 2% Milk Singles and ham.
• Beat egg whites and milk in shallow dish or pie plate. Dip each sandwich into egg mixture, turning to coat both sides (let bread soak about 5 sec. on each side). Place sandwiches on baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray.
• Bake 6 min.; turn. Bake 5 min. or until sandwiches are golden brown.

Steps:

• Heat 5 inches of oil in a deep-fryer to 365 degrees F (180 degrees C). While oil is heating, make the batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg and water. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt and pepper; whisk into the egg mixture until smooth. Set aside in the refrigerator.
• Assemble sandwiches by placing one slice of turkey on one slice of bread, a slice of ham on another, then sandwich them with the Swiss cheese in the middle. Cut sandwiches into quarters, and secure with toothpicks.
• Dip each sandwich quarter in the batter so that all sides are coated. Deep fry in the hot oil until golden brown on all sides. Remove toothpicks and arrange on a serving tray. Dust with confectioners' sugar just before serving.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray 9X9 baking dish (use what you have handy).
• 2. Place parchment paper in the pan. Lay the flat crescent dough in the pan. If it's too big, just trim it to fit.
• 3. Spread 1 tsp mustard on the dough.
• 4. Lay turkey meat evenly on the dough.
• 5. Lay 4 slices of Swiss cheese on the turkey.
• 6. Place 1 tsp mustard on the cheese.
• 7. Lay ham evenly on the cheese.
• 8. Add remaining 4 slices of cheese on the ham.
• 9. Place flat piece of dough on top to cover it all.
• 10. Mix egg with water and pour over the dough. Bake for 20 minutes on the center rack of the oven.
• 11. Bake until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly and cut into squares.
• 12. Serve with jam drizzled over the sandwich or on the side. The jam is an important part of the traditional flavor.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F.
• Lightly butter a baking sheet pan. I use the spray.
• Spread 1/2 teaspoon mustard on each slice of bread.
• Layer between mustard sides of two slices of bread, 1 slice cheese, 2 slices ham, 2 slices turkey, and another slice of cheese.
• Repeat to make four sandwiches. Whisk eggs, flour, butter, salt and pepper in a shallow dish until smooth.
• Blend in milk.
• DIP both sides of sandwiches into egg mixture until bread is lightly soaked.
• Place on baking sheet; drizzle any remaining egg mixture over top of sandwiches.
• Bake 8-10 minutes until bottom is golden brown.
• Turn with wide spatula and continue baking 8-10 minutes or until second side is golden brown.
• Serve warm dusted with powdered sugar and dip or spread raspberry preserves on sandwiches.
• Garnish with fresh raspberries.

Steps:

• On a work surface, lay out 2 slices of bread and spread with mayonnaise. Top each slice with the 1 slice of Gouda and 1 slice of turkey each. Put the third slice of bread on top of one stack, and flip the remaining stack on top, cheese-side down, to make a triple-decker sandwich.
• Using a knife, cut the crusts off the sandwich (this helps to pinch and seal the ends). Wrap the sandwich tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 6 hours. (Wrapping the sandwich in plastic wrap, compacts it, and prevents the egg batter from seeping in.)
• Combine the eggs and milk in a bowl. Heat the oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Unwrap the sandwich and dip it in the egg batter, to coat evenly. Gently place it in the skillet, and fry, turning once, until golden brown and hot, about 5 minutes total.
• Cut the Monte Cristo in 1/2, transfer it to a place, and garnish with the strawberry and orange. Spoon some jam over each 1/2 and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350ºF.
• Whisk eggs and milk in large bowl until blended. Add bread; stir to evenly coat with egg mixture. Gently stir in ham and half the cheese.
• Spoon into 9-inch square baking dish sprayed with cooking spray; top with remaining cheese.
• Bake 40 min. or until knife inserted in center comes out clean and top is golden brown.
