Cooking and Serving

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sandwich

    Lay out 2 slices of bread. On each slice, layer 2 slices of ham, 2 slices of turkey or chicken, and 1 slice of Swiss cheese. Top with the remaining 2 slices of bread to form 2 sandwiches.

Batter Preparation

  1. 2

    Mix the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2 eggs, 1 cup of milk, 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 tsp of salt, and 1 tsp of black pepper until smooth and well combined.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Sandwiches

    In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tbs of butter. Dip each sandwich into the batter, coating all sides, then place in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy, adding more butter as needed.

Serving

  1. 4

    Serve the Monte Cristo

    Once cooked, remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with maple syrup on the side for dipping.
