     Title: Monte Cristo Sandwich
Categories: Breads, Pork, Poultry, Cheese
     Yield: 2 servings

     2 lg Eggs
   1/4 c  Whole milk
          Salt & fresh ground pepper
     5 tb Unsalted butter; divided
     6 sl White bread (thin slices)
     4 sl Cooked turkey (thin slices)
     4 sl Cooked ham (thin slices)
     4 sl Ementhal cheese (thin slices)
          Confectioners sugar; garnish
          - (optional)
          Red currant jelly; to serve

 In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk;
 season lightly with salt and black pepper and set aside.

 For each sandwich, lightly butter 3 slices of bread on
 both sides (using a total of about 1 tablespoon of the
 butter). Place 2 slices each of turkey and ham between 2
 slices of bread. Top with 2 slices of cheese, and then
 top with a third slice of buttered bread. Trim crusts,
 secure with toothpicks, and cut in half on the diagonal.
 Repeat with the remaining bread, turkey, ham, and
 cheese.

 In a large nonstick or well-seasoned cast iron skillet
 over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter. Dip
 the sandwich halves in the reserved egg-milk mixture to
 coat. When the melted butter foams, place the sandwiches
 in the skillet and cook until golden brown on one side,
 about 2 minutes. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of
 butter to the skillet, flip the sandwiches, and continue
 cooking until browned on the other side, about 2 minutes
 more. Transfer the sandwiches to 2 plates, sprinkle with
 confectioners sugar (if desired), and serve hot with red
 currant jelly on the side.
