Monte Cristo Sandwiches
Is it a Grilled Ham & Cheese Sandwich or French Toast? It's actually the best of both worlds combined to make one terrific meal!
Servings: 3 sandwiches
Ingredients
- 1/2 c. butter softened and divided
- 1 T. Dijon mustard
- 6 slices challah bread (1/2-inch thick)
- 3/4 lb. black forest ham thinly sliced
- 3 slices Muenster cheese
- 3 lg. eggs
- 1/4 c. whole milk
- confectioner's sugar sugar for dusting
- Strawberry jam optional, but recommended
- potato chips optional
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup butter and mustard. Spread mixture evenly over 1 side of each bread slice.
- Divide ham evenly over 3 prepared bread slices. Top each with 1 slice cheese. Cover each with remaining bread slices, buttered side down, to make a sandwich.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs and milk.
- In a large skillet, melt remaining 1/4 cup butter over medium heat.
- Dip both sides of sandwich into egg mixture, letting excess egg mixture drip off. Place sandwiches in a hot skillet, and cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown.
- Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and serve with a side of strawberry jam and potato chips, if desired. Serve immediately.
