This two-in-one indulgence has the irresistible makings of a Cuban sandwich, including Swiss cheese, pickles, and sliced meats—but it's also dipped in egg batter and fried like a Monte Cristo. From Gourmet magazine. Ingredients:
2 slices firm bread |
1 -2 teaspoon mustard |
4 -5 dill pickles, rounds |
2 slices ham |
2 slices smoked turkey |
3 thin slices swiss cheese |
1/2 garlic clove |
1/2 tablespoon mayonnaise |
1 large egg |
2 tablespoons whole milk |
1 tablespoon unsalted butter |
Directions:
1. Spread 1 slice of bread with mustard and top with pickles, meats, and cheese. Mince and mash garlic to a paste with a pinch of salt, then mix with mayonnaise. Spread on remaining slice of bread and assemble sandwich.
2. Beat together egg, milk, and 1/8 teaspoon each of salt and pepper, then soak sandwich in egg mixture.
3. Melt butter in a heavy medium skillet over medium-low heat. Cook sandwich, uncovered, until underside is well browned, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook remaining side, covered, until well browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, 1 minute.
