      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.
