    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 375ºF/190ºC.

    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.
