Monte Cristo Sandwich
Ingredients:
8 slices of white bread
8 slices of Swiss cheese
8 slices of cooked ham
2 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Raspberry jam, for serving
Directions:
Place a slice of Swiss cheese and a slice of ham between two slices of bread to make 4 sandwiches.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Place flour on a plate.
Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Dip each sandwich in the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated, then dredge in flour, shaking off any excess.
Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove from the skillet and let them cool slightly.
Dust the sandwiches with powdered sugar and serve warm with raspberry jam on the side for dipping.
