My husband and I adore Monte Cristo sandwiches, but let's face it,they are fattening,and messy to make. I was playing around and came up with this. The measurements are NOT exact! Use as much or as little of each ingredient to suit your tastes. The important thing is to make sure that you place cheese on the tortilla first, and then last before you top it with another tortilla. The cheese acts as glue, and it will keep the whole thing from falling apart. Only flip it when the cheese has melted!
Ingredients:
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded swiss cheese
4 slices deli ham
4 slices deli turkey
4 flour tortillas
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup raspberry jam
4 tablespoons butter
Directions:
1. Preheat skillet to med-high. Place two tbsp of butter in skillet, and melt.
2. Place one tortilla in skillet. Add 1/2 cup swiss, 1 slice ham, 1 slice turkey, and 1/2 cup cheddar on top. Top with a tortilla.
3. Fry 2-3 minutes, adjusting heat so it doesn't burn. Flip with spatula only when you sure all the cheese has melted ( or it will fall apart).
4. Brown on other side.
5. Serve sprinkled with powdered sugar, and with jelly for dipping. Cut into wedges if desired.
