Ingredients

  • Dijon mustard 8 slices country bread Swiss cheese slices Bourbon-Glazed Ham 4 large eggs 1/2 cup milk 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 4 tablespoons butter Confectioners’ sugar

Directions

Spread mustard on bread. Layer 4 bread slices with Swiss cheese, ham, and cheese again. Place remaining bread slices on top.

In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Dip each sandwich in the egg mixture, turning to coat well.

In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat. When butter is foamy, add the sandwiches, and cook, turning once, until golden brown on both sides, 6 to 8 minutes total. Serve immediately, dusted with confectioners’ sugar.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/03/2019   I agree with you, pasfrk. This sounds good for a ham and cheese sandwich, but it should not be called a Monte Cristo sandwich.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       12/14/2013   we love this sandwich and we made it on rye bread today because that's what we had on hand...but its a little too soft to stand up to being egg dipped. i also sometimes include a thin sliced granny smith apple to add to the complexity. we drizzled our with warm maple syrup instead of sugar.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/31/2011   Is it truly a Monte Cristo without the jam and turkey? While this one tastes good, its even better with the jam (our favorites are strawberry or raspberry) and the turkey. That's how I've had them in restaurants too.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/23/2008   This sandwich was absolutely delicious! I really loved the combination of all the different flavors. I did stray from the original recipe by using deli ham AND deli turkey. In addition to dusting the sandwich with powdered sugar, we also dipped them in raspberry jam. I had gotten that idea from reading other recipes for Monte Cristo sandwiches on the internet, and it definitely improved it. I loved the contrast between the sweet sugar and jam with the tart/tangy mustard. DE-lish!
