Monte Cristo Sandwiches

4 slices white bread
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup milk
4 slices Swiss cheese
2 slices ham
2 slices turkey

Directions:

Preheat griddle or a large cast-iron frying pan to 350°F. Butter griddle. Combine and beat eggs and milk in a shallow dish. Dip slices of bread one at a time into the egg mix. Assemble sandwiches by placing a slice of bread on the grill, then a slice of cheese, then ham and turkey, then the second slice of cheese and the second piece of bread. Grill about 2 to 3 minutes per side until lightly browned and the cheese is melting. Cut sandwiches in halves and serve.

Variation of an old classic.

User Reviews:

It was a very good Sandwich. I added a little mustard to mine so it would not be to dry. I also served it with maple syrup on the side to dip it in. It's a New England thing. I would make it again!
