I saw this recipe on Rachel Ray and I had never heard of a Monte Cristo Sandwich- where had I been?
This is just like making french toast, but you build a yummy sandwich out of it! These things are delish!

4 large eggs, beaten
1/4 cup warm milk
1/4 teaspoon grated or ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
8 slices bacon
4 large eggs, beaten
1/4 cup warm milk
1/4 teaspoon grated or ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
2 tablespoons butter

Beat eggs with ham, milk, nutmeg and pepper.
Add 1 tablespoon butter to the griddle or pan and melt.
Turn 4 slices bread in batter, then add to griddle or pan. Turn bread after it browns, 2 to 3 minutes.
Top bread slices with mustard. Add cheese, bacon, ham, then turkey.
Cover with another piece of browned bread to make sandwich.
Keep turning and browning like you would french toast until meat is heated and cheese is melted.
Heat syrup in microwave safe container for 30 seconds. Drizzle syrup over sandwiches at the table, or use for dipping your sandwich into.
The last step almost didn’t happen in my family- maple syrup on a grilled sandwich?
It totally sounds weird, but it actually tastes so yummy!
Enjoy!

Yum!
Monte Cristos are my new favorite sandwich. If I ever see them on a menu I have to order one.
This looks delicious! I’d love to try it sometime.
