A Monte Cristo sandwich never fails to please. This recipe comes together quickly with deli meats, packaged sliced cheese and bottled salad dressing. —Debbie Brunssen, Randolph, Nebraska
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons thousand island salad dressing
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 8 slices white bread
- 1/4 pound thinly sliced deli turkey
- 1/4 pound thinly sliced deli ham
- 4 slices swiss cheese
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup half-and-half cream
- 1/4 teaspoon ground mustard
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup strawberry preserves
Directions
- In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, salad dressing and Dijon mustard; spread over 1 side of each slice of bread. On 4 slices, layer the turkey, ham and Swiss cheese; top with remaining bread. In a shallow bowl, combine the eggs, cream and ground mustard. Dip sandwiches in egg mixture.
- Using a large cast-iron skillet or electric griddle melt butter; toast sandwiches over medium heat until bread is golden brown, 2-3 minutes on each side. Serve with preserves.
