BEST MONTE CRISTO SANDWICH image

Number Of Ingredients 16

8 slices firm bread (we use pepperidge farm)
8 slices deli ham
8 slices deli turkey
4 slices American cheese (or you can use cheddar, my kids prefer american)
4 slices swiss cheese
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
2/3 cup flour
1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons honey dijon mustard
powdered sugar, garnish
maple syrup or jam, for dipping
oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Assemble four sandwiches using bread, meats, and cheeses. Set aside. In medium mixing bowl (I use a square casserole dish), combine egg, water, milk, salt, sugar, flour, baking powder & mustard. Beat well. Heat about 1" of oil in deep skillet (I use a large iron skillet). Dip your sandwiches into the coating mixture, I like to get them well soaked. They will be drippy -- try to drain off a bit, carefully slide into the hot oil. Repeat with remaining sandwiches. When nicely browned, gently flip over & brown other side. Remove to paper towels. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Let cool a few minutes before cutting so the cheese doesn't ooze out. Cut each sandwich into four fingers for easy dipping. Serve with syrup or jam.

This sandwich is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not great either. I probably won't make it again.

I've tried this recipe a few times and I've never been able to get the bread to cook evenly. It's always soggy in the middle.

This recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less raspberry jam.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sandwich didn't turn out as good as I hoped. The bread was too soggy and the cheese didn't melt properly.

This sandwich is the perfect comfort food. It's cheesy, gooey, and sweet. I love to make it on a rainy day.

I've made this sandwich a few times now and it's always a hit. The hardest part is waiting for the sandwich to cook! It's so tempting to just eat it right away.

I'm not a huge fan of Monte Cristo sandwiches, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I'm glad I did! The sandwich was surprisingly good. The ham and cheese were melted and gooey, and the French toast was crispy and fluffy.

This sandwich was easy to make and so delicious! I used sourdough bread and it was the perfect choice. The raspberry jam added a nice touch of sweetness.

This Monte Cristo sandwich was a hit with my family! The combination of ham, cheese, and French toast was perfect, and the raspberry jam added a delicious sweetness. I will definitely be making this again.
