Cranberry sauce, mustard, and cheese keep the sliced breast moist, and a golden-brown egg batter elevates that old chestnut to showstopper status.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup leftover cranberry sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon chopped rosemary
8 slices brioche bread
6 ounces cooked turkey breast, sliced
8 thin slices Swiss cheese

1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons powdered sugar

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, mix together the cranberry sauce, mustard, and rosemary. Lay out the slices of bread. Divide the mustard mixture evenly over the 8 slices of bread and spread almost to the edges.

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and salt.

Provided by Aleya Zenieris

Categories     Dinner

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

10 oz roasted turkey, shredded
1 cup gravy
8 slices brioche bread
¼ cup cranberry sauce
¼ cup whole grain mustard
8 slices swiss cheese
1 cup stuffing
6 large eggs
⅔ cup milk
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
½ stick unsalted butter, divided

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 250°F (120°C).
  • In a medium bowl, toss together the turkey and gravy until well combined.
  • Spread 1 tablespoon of cranberry sauce over each of 4 slices of brioche. Spread 1 tablespoon of whole-grain mustard over each of the remaining slices of brioche. Place a slice of cheese on top of each piece of bread.
  • Divide the turkey between 4 slices of bread, pressing down into a flat, even layer. Distribute the stuffing atop the turkey, spreading into a flat even layer. Place the other slices of bread, cheese-side down, over the stuffing and press down to adhere.
  • In a 2-inch-deep, square baking dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, and salt until well combined.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a small skillet over medium heat.
  • Dip a sandwich in the egg mixture and press down to coat. Flip the sandwich to coat the other side. Lift the sandwich from the egg mixture, letting the excess drip off, then transfer the sandwich to the pan and cook until the bottom is golden and crispy, about 3 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until the other side is golden and crispy, 3 minutes more. Transfer the sandwich to a baking sheet and place in the oven to warm through while you repeat with the remaining sandwiches, adding more butter to the pan between each.
  • Serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use a good quality bread for the Monte Cristo sandwich. A sturdy bread, such as sourdough or French bread, will hold up well to the egg mixture and frying.
  • Make sure the butter is melted before dipping the bread slices into it. This will help the bread to evenly absorb the butter and prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the sandwiches. This will cause the oil to cool down and the sandwiches will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the sandwiches over medium heat until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides. This will ensure that the cheese is melted and the turkey is cooked through.
  • Serve the Monte Cristo sandwiches immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as cranberry sauce, maple syrup, or honey mustard.

Conclusion:

The Turkey Cranberry Monte Cristo is a delicious and easy-to-make sandwich that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is a great way to use up leftover turkey and cranberry sauce, and it is sure to be a hit with the whole family. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect Monte Cristo sandwich that is crispy, cheesy, and flavorful.
