Easily adaptable into a Monte Cristo by just adding chicken, this wonderful battered then fried sandwich makes a great lunch with a tossed salad. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon dijon mustard |
2 tablespoons mayonnaise |
4 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened |
6 slices white bread |
6 slices swiss cheese |
12 slices thinly sliced deli ham |
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
2 eggs |
1/4 cup water |
1 tablespoon vegetable oil |
Directions:
1. Use 2 tablespoons of the butter to spread over one side of each slice of bread. On three of the slices, spread a layer of Dijon mustard over the butter, and top each with 4 slices of ham. On the other three, spread mayonnaise, and top each one with 2 slices of Swiss cheese. Press ham and cheese sides of sandwiches together.
2. In a flat bottomed dish, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, eggs, and water until blended. Set aside.
3. Heat remaining butter and vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Dip both sides of each sandwich in the egg mixture, and fry in the oil and butter until browned, flipping to brown on each side.
