Classic Monte Cristo Sandwich
Do you like French toast? Do you like ham and cheese sandwiches? Then you will definitely like the Monte Cristo Sandwich! A touch of Member's Mark™ Spanish Style Paprika is the key ingredient to this extra-special sandwich.
Ingredients
- 3 slices White sandwich bread
- ½ cup Grated gouda cheese
- ¼ lb Sliced deli ham
- 2 tsp Mayonnaise
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tbsp Milk
- 1 tsp Member's Mark™ Spanish Style Paprika
- Member's Mark™ Pink Himalayan Salt Grinder to taste
- Member's Mark™ Black Peppercorn Grinder to taste
- 2 tbsp Butter
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Lay out three slices of sandwich bread. Split grated cheese between two slices of bread. Top cheese with sliced ham.
- Lightly spread mayo on each side of the third piece of bread. Place the mayo piece of bread on top of one of the two sides. Then flip the other ham/cheese side on top so the mayo piece of bread is in between the two sides, creating a two layer sandwich. The cheese should be on the outside of the sandwich.
- Slice the crust off the sandwich. Use a cutting board to press the sandwich to compact the layers.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, Member's Mark™ Spanish Style Paprika, and a pinch of Member's Mark™ Pink Himalayan Salt Grinder and Member's Mark™ Black Peppercorn Grinder.
- In a small skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Meanwhile, dredge the sandwich in the egg mixture, coating all sides. Immediately move sandwich to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until sandwich is golden brown. Upend the sandwich to cook on the ends for about 15 seconds per side.
- Sandwich is done cooking when it is a dark golden brown and cheese is completely melted. Dust lightly with powdered sugar. Slice in half, and serve!
