This monte cristo sandwich is nothing like the movie, but it sure tastes yummy! 15 minute lunch recipe is easy to make and one of my best sandwich recipes.

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 4 slices of bread
- 2 eggs
- salt
- pepper
- mayo to spread
- mustard to spread
- 4 slices of deli ham
- 2 slices of cheese of your choice I used chipotle cheddar
- powdered sugar optional
- raspberry jam optional for dipping
Instructions
- On a plate, spread mayo and mustard on one side of each slice of bread. Place 2 slices of deli ham and 1 slice of cheese onto two of the slices of bread. Assemble with the remaining two slices of bread to create the sandwich. Press sandwiches down with a skillet so they are more flat. This will help them stay together when doing the egg mixture.
- Fry butter in a large skillet over medium heat to melt it. While the butter is frying, in a small bowl that fits the bread, whisk together eggs and a dash of salt and pepper.
- When butter is melted and skillet hot, dip both sides of one of the sandwiches into the egg mixture. Transfer from egg mixture to skillet. I would recommend doing this quickly so the bread does not get too soggy. Repeat with the remaining sandwich.
- Cook sandwiches until golden brown on each side. I like mine on the lighter side so it was about 3-4 minutes.
- Cut and serve your Monte Cristos with raspberry jam on the side. Sprinkle powdered sugar on top as well if you would like.
