Monte Cristos: The Anytime Sandwich

Renee and I have been craving Monte Cristos since returning from our trip from Vermont. The Monte Cristo is a unique sandwich in which can be enjoyed at any meal period. For a condiment some people prefer jelly, which isn't that bad. However, maple syrup is were its at. Warm or cold, its a match made in heaven. For those of you that don't know what a Monte Cristo, well there are many variations, mine is as follows: You take two pieces of Texas Toast(usually found on the bottom shelf of the bread isle) and dip into your french toast batter and let sit and soak up the eggs for a few minutes. Using a flat-top skillet on medium heat place on your two pieces of bread. While this is cooking get the slices of ham and turkey and two pieces of Swiss cheese, you will use this amount per sandwich. once the french toast is ready to flip, flip and place Swiss cheese of cooked side of french toast. Place the turkey and ham on the other side of the skillet and heat. Once heated pile onto you french toast with the melted Swiss cheese and create a sandwich. Remove from the skillet and slice in half or in quarters. Serve with maple syrup. Our sandwiches came out great and were so delicious, great to serve with some sauteed potatoes with onions and garlic. You will be full after eating this sandwich and will soon become a follower. I have some photos of Renee and I making them at my place.
