Classic Monte Cristo Sandwiches

SERVES: 3

COOK TIME: 15 Min

Don't pass on the powdered sugar and strawberry preserves. They lend a pleasant and traditional sweetness to these otherwise savory batter-fried sandwiches.

What You'll Need

1 1/2 tablespoon mayonnaise
3/4 teaspoon prepared mustard
6 slices sandwich bread, trimmed
3 slices cooked turkey
3 slices cooked ham
3 slices Swiss cheese
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup milk
3/4 cup pancake mix
3 tablespoons butter
Sifted powdered sugar (optional)
Strawberry preserves (optional)

What to Do

Combine mayonnaise and mustard; spread on 1 side of each bread slice. Place 1 slice each of turkey, ham, and cheese on 3 bread slices. Top with remaining bread. Cut each sandwich in half diagonally, and secure with wooden toothpicks.
Combine egg and milk in a shallow dish. Add pancake mix, stirring until blended. Dip each sandwich into batter.
Melt butter in a large heavy skillet, griddle, or electric skillet; add sandwiches, and cook 4 minutes on each side or until light golden. If desired, serve with powdered sugar and strawberry preserves

This is my all time favorite sandwich. I used to get it at Bennigans restaurant but it closed down and I was brokenhearted. Now I am soooo excited!!! The only exception is the served it withers raspberry jam, and this is what really "makes" it. Can't wait to try, watch out scale...LOL
