Ingredients

• 4 pieces large flour tortillas
• 8 slices sliced ham
• 8 slices sliced turkey
• 8 slices Swiss cheese
• 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 large eggs
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
• 4 tablespoons raspberry jam
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until combined. Set aside.

Step 2

Lay out the tortillas on a clean surface. Spread 1 tablespoon of the mayo-mustard mixture onto one half of each tortilla.

Step 3

Layer 2 slices of ham, 2 slices of turkey, and 2 slices of Swiss cheese on the mayo-covered side of each tortilla.

Step 4

Fold the tortillas in half, pressing gently to create a half-moon shape.

Step 5

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 7

Dip one folded tortilla into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated but not overly saturated.

Step 8

Place the coated tortilla into the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, adding the second tablespoon of butter to the skillet as needed.

Step 9

Once all the folds are cooked, transfer them to a serving plate and lightly dust with powdered sugar.

Step 10

Serve immediately with raspberry jam on the side for dipping, and enjoy your Monte Cristo Folds!
