Title: Monte Cristo Sandwich
Categories: Breads, Pork, Poultry, Cheese
Yield: 2 servings

2 lg Eggs
1/4 c Whole milk
Salt & fresh ground pepper
5 tb Unsalted butter; divided
6 sl (thin) white bread
4 sl (thin) cooked turkey
4 sl (thin) cooked ham
4 sl (thin) Ementhal cheese
Confectioners sugar; garnish
- (opt)
Red currant jelly; to serve

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk;
season lightly with salt and black pepper and set aside.

For each sandwich, lightly butter 3 slices of bread on
both sides (using a total of about 1 tablespoon of the
butter). Place 2 slices each of turkey and ham between 2
slices of bread. Top with 2 slices of cheese, and then
top with a third slice of buttered bread. Trim crusts,
secure with toothpicks, and cut in half on the diagonal.
Repeat with the remaining bread, turkey, ham, and
cheese.

In a large nonstick or well-seasoned cast iron skillet
over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter. Dip
the sandwich halves in the reserved egg-milk mixture to
coat. When the melted butter foams, place the sandwiches
in the skillet and cook until golden brown on one side,
about 2 minutes. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of
butter to the skillet, flip the sandwiches, and continue
cooking until browned on the other side, about 2 minutes
more. Transfer the sandwiches to 2 plates, sprinkle with
confectioners sugar (if desired), and serve hot with red
currant jelly on the side.
