    Title: Monte Cristo
    Categories: Breads, Cheese, Pork, Poultry
    Yield: 4 servings

    3 tb Mayonnaise
    2 tb Dijon mustard
    8 sl White bread
    1/2 lb Thin sliced Emmental cheese
    6 oz Thin sliced cooked ham
    6 oz Thin sliced deli turkey
    3 lg Eggs; lightly beaten
    1/4 ts Kosher salt
    3 tb Unsalted butter; more if
    - needed
    Confectioners' sugar; to
    - serve
    Raspberry jam; to serve(opt)

    In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and
    mustard. Spread a spoonful of the mixture on the insides
    of each piece of bread.

    On four of the slices, layer half the Swiss, followed by
    all of the ham and turkey, and finally the remaining
    Swiss. Trim ingredients to fit, if necessary. Top with
    the remaining bread slices.

    On a rimmed plate, whisk together the eggs and salt and
    set aside. Heat the butter in a large (12-inch) skillet
    over medium-low heat. When it begins to sizzle, dip two
    of the sandwiches into the egg mixture on both sides;
    the bread should be evenly coated but not soggy. Add two
    of the sandwiches to the skillet, pressing them down
    gently with a spatula. Cover and cook until golden brown
    on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes, then flip and cook until
    golden brown on the other side, 1 to 2 minutes more.

    Transfer the cooked sandwiches to a plate and repeat
    with the second batch, adding another tablespoon of
    butter if the pan looks dry. Dust sandwiches lightly
    with confectioners’ sugar, cut them in half and serve
    with raspberry jam for dipping, if desired.
