Monte Cristo Sandwich with Comte Cheese

Directions

1

Spread mayo on two slices and Dijon on the other two, then top all four with Comté. Layer ham on two slices and turkey on the others, press together to form sandwiches, and weight them so they hold. Trim crusts only if they’re too firm.

2

Whisk the eggs and milk, then dip each assembled sandwich so every side fully absorbs the custard.

3

Melt the butter over medium heat, then add the sandwiches and cook gently, giving each side 5–7 minutes to turn golden and heat through until the cheese is fully melted.

4

Dust the warm sandwiches with powdered sugar and serve alongside strawberry preserves or another berry preserve for dipping.
