Monte Cristo Sandwich

Step 1

Assemble Sandwiches: Lay two slices of bread side by side. Spread with very thin layer of Dijon mustard. Top with turkey, Swiss cheese, ham, and second bread slice.

Step 2

Secure with Toothpicks on two opposite corners, from the top, at an angle, to help keep the sandwich together while battering.

Step 3

Make Batter: Add flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon to a mixing bowl and stir together. Whisk in eggs and milk until smooth.

Step 4

Heat Oil: Add oil to a skillet over medium heat.

Step 5

Dip Sandwiches: Use tongs to dip each sandwich into the batter, flipping to coat on both sides. Lift up and allow excess batter to drip off and set aside on a plate. Repeat with remaining sandwiches.

Step 6

Cook: Once oil in pan is hot, add one sandwich at a time, cooking for about 3 minutes (reduce heat if it starts to brown too much on the bottom) until golden and crisp. Flip and cook on the other side until golden. Remove to a paper towel lined plate.

Step 7

Serve: Cut into halves or quarters before serving, and dust with powdered sugar. Serve with a side of raspberry jam.
