A classic Monte Cristo sandwich with layers of ham and Swiss cheese, dipped in egg batter and fried to golden perfection. This recipe from She Wears Many Hats is a delightful blend of savory and sweet flavors.
Ingredients: 8 slices of bread. 8 slices of ham. 8 slices of Swiss cheese. 4 eggs. 1/4 cup milk. Salt and pepper to taste. Powdered sugar for dusting. Maple syrup for dipping optional.
Instructions: Lay out 4 pieces of bread on a clean surface. Put two slices of ham and two slices of Swiss cheese on top of each slice. Add the last few slices of bread on top to make sandwiches. Mix the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl with a whisk. Cover both sides of each sandwich with the egg mixture as you dip them in it. Put the skillet on medium heat and add a little butter or oil to coat it. Start cooking the sandwiches in the pan. Each side should take about 3 to 4 minutes to turn golden brown. Take out of the pan and sprinkle with powdered sugar. If you want, you can serve it hot with maple syrup to dip it in.
