Ingredients

• 4 slices thick-cut sandwich bread
• 4 slices deli ham
• 4 slices deli turkey
• 4 slices Swiss cheese
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup whole milk
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.125 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon powdered sugar
• 0.25 cup strawberry preserves (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Lay out the bread slices on a clean surface. On two of the slices, layer two slices of ham, two slices of turkey, and two slices of Swiss cheese each. Top with the remaining bread slices to form two complete sandwiches.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. Pour the batter into a shallow dish wide enough for dipping the sandwiches.

Step 3

Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt, swirling it around the pan to coat the surface evenly.

Step 4

Carefully dip each sandwich into the egg batter, coating both sides generously. Let any excess batter drip off before placing the sandwich in the skillet.

Step 5

Cook the sandwiches for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted. Press gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking.

Step 6

Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let rest for 1-2 minutes. Slice each sandwich in half diagonally.

Step 7

Dust the tops of the sandwiches with a light sprinkle of powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness.

Step 8

Serve immediately with a side of strawberry preserves for dipping, if desired. Enjoy your decadent Monte Cristo Sandwich Longmeadow!
