Enjoy the richness of a Monte Cristo Grilled Cheese Sandwich, a great take on the traditional grilled cheese. Thin slices of ham, turkey, Swiss cheese, and cheddar cheese are layered between thick slices of bread in this recipe. The sandwiches are dipped in an egg mix, grilled until they're done, and then powdered sugar is sprinkled on top. For a savory-sweet taste, serve with raspberry jam.
Ingredients: 8 slices thick-cut bread. 1/2 lb thinly sliced ham. 1/2 lb thinly sliced turkey. 8 slices Swiss cheese. 4 slices cheddar cheese. 4 large eggs. 1/2 cup milk. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg. 3 tablespoons unsalted butter. Powdered sugar for dusting. Raspberry jam for dipping.
Instructions: On four pieces of bread, put ham, turkey, and Swiss cheese. Add the last few slices of bread on top to make sandwiches. A shallow dish is all you need to make the egg mixture. Whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and ground nutmeg. Cover both sides of each sandwich with the egg mixture. Melt the butter in a pan over medium-low heat. For every sandwich, cook it for three to four minutes on each side, or until it's golden brown and the cheese melts. Take them out of the pan and give them a minute to rest. Put powdered sugar on top of each Monte Cristo Grilled Cheese Sandwich. Warm up the sandwiches and serve them with raspberry jam on the side. Take a bite of this sweet and savory take on the classic grilled cheese. It's great for a tasty lunch or brunch.
