Ingredients

4 each White bread slices

(healthier choice --- whole wheat bread)

as needed --- Butter

2 oz Sliced turkey or chicken breast

2 oz Sliced ham

2 oz Sliced Swiss cheese

2 Eggs, beaten

4 tbsp Milk

salt & pepper to taste

Directions

Place the bread on a clean work surface.

Spread the tops with butter.

Place the turkey, ham, and cheese slices on one of the pieces of bread.

Top with the remaining slice of bread, buttered side down.

Secure the sandwich with 2 picks placed in opposite corners.

Beat the egg and milk together.

Dip the sandwich in the batter until it is completely coated and the liquid has partially soaked into the bread.

Fry the sandwich in deep fat at 375°F until golden brown.

Cut in half or quarters, and serve immediately.

Serve with a side salad, and you've got yourself a hit!

================================================

Alternative method:

Omit the picks and cook on a griddle until browned on both sides.

Mmmmm.... I love monte cristos... Here's something to try- a local diner finishes them off with a dusting of powdered sugar and serves it up with plum sauce to dip. Actually quite good!

Mmmmmmmmm, elaine... you push all of my buttons! 5. Maybe using a small bbQ basket would make it easier to fry them... funny markings but so what? Thanks!

This sounds exactly like the way I make it. The only difference is we also put real maple syrup over it. Yum!

I love Bennigans Monte Cristo. I limit myself from going there cause it hurts when I'm done eating. Now I can hurt myself at home..Really though thanks for the recipe. I'll be making it soon.

Another excellent recipe DOWNRATED BY insane MOUNTAIN MAMA in one of her usual childish fits of jealousy.
