Monte Cristo Sandwich

This is my favorite sandwich! The ingredients may sound a bit odd, but I LOVE it nonetheless. *grin*

INGREDIENTS:

12 slices sourdough bread
4 slices Swiss cheese
4 slices American cheese
butter
8 slices of ham
8 slices of turkey
Powdered sugar

Jam

Batter:

2 eggs
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp sugar

For each sandwich use 3 slices of bread. Butter one side of bread first, then cover with a slice of ham and a slice of turkey or chicken, followed by a slice of cheese. Butter both sides of the second slice of bread and spread with a little butter or other dressing, if desired. Place on top of turkey or ham slice and top with another slice of cheese.

Press sandwich lightly. Cut into halves diagonally and secure with toothpicks.

Beat the eggs with milk, salt and sugar. Dip sandwich halves into the egg mixture and fry on a skillet (keep it on low - medium temp to avoid drying/burning ) or griddle in butter or margarine. Brown on all sides, adding more butter when necessary. Remove toothpicks before serving.

Sprinkle with powder sugar & serve with jam on the side.
