Title: Monte Cristo
Categories: Breads, Cheese, Pork, Poultry
Yield: 4 servings

3 tb Mayonnaise
2 tb Dijon mustard
8 sl White bread
1/2 lb Thin sliced Emmental cheese
6 oz Thin sliced cooked ham
6 oz Thin sliced deli turkey
3 lg Eggs; lightly beaten
1/4 ts Kosher salt
3 tb Unsalted butter; more if
- needed
Confectioners' sugar; to
- serve
Raspberry jam; to serve(opt)

In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and
mustard. Spread a spoonful of the mixture on the insides
of each piece of bread.

On four of the slices, layer half the Swiss, followed by
all of the ham and turkey, and finally the remaining
Swiss. Trim ingredients to fit, if necessary. Top with
the remaining bread slices.

On a rimmed plate, whisk together the eggs and salt and
set aside. Heat the butter in a large (12-inch) skillet
over medium-low heat. When it begins to sizzle, dip two
of the sandwiches into the egg mixture on both sides;
the bread should be evenly coated but not soggy. Add two
of the sandwiches to the skillet, pressing them down
gently with a spatula. Cover and cook until golden brown
on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes, then flip and cook until
golden brown on the other side, 1 to 2 minutes more.

Transfer the cooked sandwiches to a plate and repeat
with the second batch, adding another tablespoon of
butter if the pan looks dry. Dust sandwiches lightly
with confectionersΓÇÖ sugar, cut them in half and serve
with raspberry jam for dipping, if desired.

Title: Monte Cristo Benedict
Categories: Pork, Breads, Dairy, Chilies, Cheese
Yield: 4 Servings

2 lg Eggs
1/4 c Heavy whipping cream
1 tb White sugar
pn Salt
pn Cayenne pepper
1/4 ts Ground cinnamon
1/8 ts Ground allspice
4 sl (thick) day-old French bread
1 tb Butter
8 sl (thin) cooked ham
4 sl Cheddar cheese
4 sl Havarti cheese
8 Poached eggs
2 ts Chopped fresh chives; to
- taste
pn Kosher salt; to taste
pn Cayenne pepper; to taste

Set oven to 375oF/190oC.

Whisk 2 eggs, cream, white sugar, salt, 1 pinch cayenne
pepper, cinnamon, and allspice together in a bowl until
batter is thoroughly combined.

Lay bread slices into batter, one at a time, and let
bread absorb the mixture. Turn bread slices in batter
until almost all batter has been absorbed, about 10
minutes.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and melt butter
in the hot skillet. Cook bread slices in the hot butter
until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer French
toast slices to a baking sheet.

Lay ham slices into the hot skillet and cook until meat
begins to brown, about 1 minute per side.

To assemble, place a Cheddar cheese slice on a slice of
French toast, top with 2 slices of ham, and lay a
Havarti cheese slice over ham.

Bake in the preheated oven until French toast pieces are
no longer wet, the batter is set, and cheese has melted
and begun to brown, about 20 minutes.

Place sandwiches on serving plates and top each with 2
poached eggs. Season with kosher salt and a pinch of
cayenne pepper.
