Monte Cristo Sandwiches

By , About.com Guide

These fabulous sandwiches are a real treat, and they're easy to make. Traditionally they are grilled in large amounts of butter, and you can make them that way. But try them on a George Foreman grill for all the crunch and less fat.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 8 slices sourdough bread
  • 3 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 lb. thinly sliced deli ham
  • 4 thin slices Swiss cheese
  • 1/2 lb. thinly sliced deli turkey or chicken breast
  • 4 thin slices Provolone cheese
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 2 Tbsp. milk
  • 1 Tbsp. oil
  • 1 cup finely crushed Rice Krispies cereal
  • powdered sugar
  • strawberry jam

Preparation:

Spread one side of each bread slice with Dijon mustard. Make sandwiches with the two kinds of cheese and the ham and turkey slices.

In shallow bowl, combine egg, milk, and oil and beat well. Place crushed cereal on a shallow plate. Dip each sandwich briefly into egg mixture, then into cereal mixture to coat.

Grill sandwiches in dual contact grill or panini grill or waffle iron until crisp and brown, 3-4 minutes. Sprinkle hot sandwiches with powdered sugar and serve with strawberry jam for dipping. 4 sandwiches
