Monte Cristo Sandwich
- 2 whole Eggs, Beaten
- 1/2 cups Milk
- 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 1 pinch Cinnamon
- 2 slices Leftover Bread
- 1 Tablespoon Dijon Mustard
- 2 slices Swiss Cheese
- 3 slices Thinly Sliced Ham
- 1 teaspoon Powdered Sugar (optional)
- 4 whole Pickle Slices, Optional
- 1 Tablespoon Canola Oil
- To a bowl, add the eggs, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon.
- Give that a good whisk.
- Add the slices of bread and make sure they get a generous soaking.
- Heat a large skillet on medium heat and toss in the oil.
- Let that heat up for a minute or so, then lay in the soaked bread.
- Cook for a few minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through.
- Remove the French toast from the skillet and set them aside.
- Wipe the skillet clean, then bring the skillet back to the burner, and set it to low, to medium heat.
- Spread the Dijon mustard on one slice of the French toast, and set it into the skillet, mustard side up.
- Lay a slice of the Swiss cheese on top, then the ham, then another slice of cheese, and top it with the remaining slice of French toast.
- Cook on low heat, and place a cover over the skillet.
- Cook for a few minutes on one side, then remove the cover, and flip it over.
- Your goal is to heat everything through and get that cheese to melt.
- When you are ready to plate, remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice in half, and sprinkle a bit of powdered sugar over the top.
- The result is everything you want in a sweet and savory sandwich.
- I was skeptical if my wife would like the sandwich, as it had that sweetness of the French toast, as well as mustard.
- I dont think she likes mustard.
- But, she loved the sandwich, and I did as well.
- Oh, and that powered sugar, well, it actually brought the sandwich together.
- Everything about it worked, and now I think I will make more French toast next weekend!
- I hope you enjoy.
