Similar to a Monte Cristo, a croque monsieur is a French-style grilled ham and cheese sandwich that is dipped in egg batter then cooked in a skillet. This version is like a savory stuffed French toast. Keep the finished ones warm in a 200° oven while cooking the others. Ingredients:
4 (1 1/2-ounce) slices french bread |
4 teaspoons honey mustard |
6 ounces reduced-fat deli ham, thinly sliced |
4 (1-ounce) slices reduced-fat swiss cheese |
1/2 cup fat-free milk |
3 large egg whites |
cooking spray |
Directions:
1. Cut a slit in each bread slice to form a pocket. Spread 1 teaspoon honey mustard into each bread pocket. Divide ham and cheese evenly among bread pockets.
2. Combine milk and egg whites in a shallow bowl, stirring with a whisk. Dip sandwiches, 1 at a time, in milk mixture, turning to coat.
3. Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add 2 sandwiches; cook 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Repeat procedure with remaining sandwiches.
