Monte Cristo Sandwich The Real One Recipes

Steps:

• Spread bread with mayonnaise and mustard. Alternate ham, Swiss and turkey slices on bread.
• Beat egg and milk in a small bowl. Coat the sandwich with the egg and milk mixture. Heat a greased skillet over medium heat, brown the sandwich on both sides. Serve hot.

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:

• Spread mustard on bread. Layer 4 bread slices with Swiss cheese, ham, and cheese again. Place remaining bread slices on top.
• In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Dip each sandwich in the egg mixture, turning to coat well.
• In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat. When butter is foamy, add the sandwiches, and cook, turning once, until golden brown on both sides, 6 to 8 minutes total. Serve immediately, dusted with confectioners' sugar.

Steps:

• Heat about 5 inches oil in a deep-fryer to 365 degrees.
• While the oil is heating prepare 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 and chill.
• To assemble the sandwiches; place one slice of turkey one one slice of bread, then a slice of ham on an other slice of bread, then "sandwich" them with a slice of Swiss cheese in the middle.
• Cut the sandwich into quarters then secure with toothpicks.
• Dip each sandwich quarter into the batter so that all the sides are coated.
• Deep-fry in hot oil until golden brown on all sides.
• Remove the toothpicks and arrange on a serving tray.
• Dust with confectioners sugar just before serving.
• Delicious!

Steps:

• Lightly beat eggs and milk in a shallow bowl. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
• For each sandwich, lightly butter 3 slices of bread on both sides.
• Place 2 slices of turkey and 2 of ham between 2 slices of bread.
• Top with 2 slices of cheese and add last slice of bread.
• Trim crusts, secure with toothpicks, and cut in half on the diagonal.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
• Dip sandwich halves, top and bottom, in batter.
• When butter foams, place sandwiches in skillet and fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes.
• Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter to skillet, turn sandwiches, and fry for 2 minutes more.
• Transfer to plates, sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, and serve with jelly.
