My husband and I enjoy Monte Cristos so much that I created this non-fried version to cut down on fat. The addition of orange peel and pecans makes these beautiful sandwiches absolutely delicious! Ingredients:
1 egg |
1/4 cup 2% milk |
1 teaspoon sugar |
1 teaspoon grated orange peel |
4 slices white bread |
2 tablespoons finely chopped pecans |
4 slices process american cheese (2/3 ounce each) |
2 thin slices deli turkey (1/2 ounce each) |
2 slices swiss cheese (3/4 ounce each) |
2 thin slices deli ham (1/2 ounce each) |
2 teaspoons butter |
2 teaspoons confectioners' sugar |
1/4 cup seedless raspberry jam |
Directions:
1. In a shallow bowl, combine the egg, milk, sugar and orange peel. Dip bread into egg mixture. Place on a preheated waffle iron; sprinkle each slice of bread with pecans. Bake according to manufacturerâs directions until golden brown.
2. Place an American cheese slice on two bread slices; layer with turkey, Swiss cheese, ham and remaining American cheese. Top with remaining bread; butter outsides of sandwiches.
3. Toast sandwiches in a skillet for 1-2 minutes on each side or until cheese is melted. Dust with confectioners' sugar; serve with jam. Yield: 2 servings.
