    Title: Monte Cristo Benedict
    Categories: Pork, Breads, Dairy, Chilies, Cheese
    Yield: 4 Servings

    2 lg Eggs
    1/4 c Heavy whipping cream
    1 tb White sugar
    pn Salt
    pn Cayenne pepper
    1/4 ts Ground cinnamon
    1/8 ts Ground allspice
    4 sl (thick) day-old French bread
    1 tb Butter
    8 sl (thin) cooked ham
    4 sl Cheddar cheese
    4 sl Havarti cheese
    8 Poached eggs
    2 ts Chopped fresh chives; to
    - taste
    pn Kosher salt; to taste
    pn Cayenne pepper; to taste

    Set oven to 375+|F/190+|C.

    Whisk 2 eggs, cream, white sugar, salt, 1 pinch cayenne
    pepper, cinnamon, and allspice together in a bowl until
    batter is thoroughly combined.

    Lay bread slices into batter, one at a time, and let
    bread absorb the mixture. Turn bread slices in batter
    until almost all batter has been absorbed, about 10
    minutes.

    Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and melt butter
    in the hot skillet. Cook bread slices in the hot butter
    until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer French
    toast slices to a baking sheet.

    Lay ham slices into the hot skillet and cook until meat
    begins to brown, about 1 minute per side.

    To assemble, place a Cheddar cheese slice on a slice of
    French toast, top with 2 slices of ham, and lay a
    Havarti cheese slice over ham.

    Bake in the preheated oven until French toast pieces are
    no longer wet, the batter is set, and cheese has melted
    and begun to brown, about 20 minutes.

    Place sandwiches on serving plates and top each with 2
    poached eggs. Season with kosher salt and a pinch of
    cayenne pepper.

    Title: Monte Cristo Sandwich
    Categories: Breads, Pork, Poultry, Cheese
    Yield: 2 servings

    2 lg Eggs
    1/4 c Whole milk
    Salt & fresh ground pepper
    5 tb Unsalted butter; divided
    6 sl (thin) white bread
    4 sl (thin) cooked turkey
    4 sl (thin) cooked ham
    4 sl (thin) Ementhal cheese
    Confectioners sugar; garnish
    - (opt)
    Red currant jelly; to serve

    In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk;
    season lightly with salt and black pepper and set aside.

    For each sandwich, lightly butter 3 slices of bread on
    both sides (using a total of about 1 tablespoon of the
    butter). Place 2 slices each of turkey and ham between 2
    slices of bread. Top with 2 slices of cheese, and then
    top with a third slice of buttered bread. Trim crusts,
    secure with toothpicks, and cut in half on the diagonal.
    Repeat with the remaining bread, turkey, ham, and
    cheese.

    In a large nonstick or well-seasoned cast iron skillet
    over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter. Dip
    the sandwich halves in the reserved egg-milk mixture to
    coat. When the melted butter foams, place the sandwiches
    in the skillet and cook until golden brown on one side,
    about 2 minutes. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of
    butter to the skillet, flip the sandwiches, and continue
    cooking until browned on the other side, about 2 minutes
    more. Transfer the sandwiches to 2 plates, sprinkle with
    confectioners sugar (if desired), and serve hot with red
    currant jelly on the side.
