This is from the April 2007 issue of Real Simple magazine. The recipe capitalizes on the convenience of frozen French toast to create this rich and decadent classic sandwich. I like my Monte Cristos served with a little cup of raspberry preserves to dip or spread on each bite. Ingredients:
6 tablespoons dijon mustard |
2 (6 count) boxes frozen french toast (12 slices) |
1 (9 ounce) package thinly sliced ham |
1 (9 ounce) package thinly sliced turkey |
12 slices swiss cheese |
6 tablespoons butter, at room temperature |
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 400°F.
2. Spread the mustard on the (still frozen) French toast.
3. Divide the ham and turkey evenly among 6 pieces of toast and top with 2 slices of cheese.
4. Top with remaining 6 slices of toast to sandwich together.
5. Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
6. Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter on the top and bottom of each sandwich.
7. Cook each sandwich in the skillet until brown, 2 minutes per side.
8. Transfer to a baking sheet.
9. Bake until the cheese is melted and the toast is heated through, about 4 minutes.
