Virginia-Ham and Turkey Monte Cristo sandwichs
Southern Living Cooking School (summer 2006)
Makes 5 servings
“These sandwiches were good warm, and even better cold, in my opinion. I used Oscar Meyer meats, the brand called for in the recipe, and I also used 1/2 of egg”
Ingredients
1/2 c. honey mustard
10 white bread slices
5 (1-oz) slices Swiss cheese
1/2 (9-oz) package shaved Virginia-brand ham
1/2 (9-oz) package shaved mesquite turkey
1/2 cup egg substitute
1/3 c. 1% low-fat milk
2 T. powdered sugar
1/3 c. seedless raspberry jam, warm
1. Spread honey mustard evenly over one side of each bread slice. Place one Swiss cheese slice on each of five bread slices. Divide shaved ham and shaved turkey evenly over Swiss cheese. Top with remaining five bread slices, mustard sides down. Whisk together 1/2 c. egg substitute and 1/3 c. milk; place in shallow dish. Dip both sides of each sandwich into egg mixture.
2. Cook sandwiches in a lightly greased nonstick skillet over medium heat or in a griddle set to 325 degrees, for 3-4 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Sprinkle evenly with powdered sugar, and top each with 1 T. jam; serve immediately.
