ham

This is one of my hubby’s favorite sandwiches. Back in the day, you could find these in quite a few restaurants down here where we live, but now I think there is only one place that serves them. Which is a shame because how can you not love a sandwich layered with ham, swiss cheese, turkey, more cheese then dipped in eggs and grilled to perfection and lightly kissed with powdered sugar. It’s kind of like a hearty, deli sandwich that has been hugged between two pieces of French toast. So after hubby’s declaration of craving one for days (and he had me wanting one as well), I decided to make them.

There are variations of the Monte Crisco Sandwich. Some have raspberry jam, some have Dijon mustard and there are a few that have that extra layer of bread in the middle. I made this one with a little smear of mayonnaise and only two pieces of bread. Either way you make them, they are great for lunch, brunch (with mimosas, yes please!) or even dinner. If you have never tried them, you are in for a special treat.

Here’s what you need:

*2 slices white bread per sandwich; I used sandwich bread but you can use what you prefer

*2 eggs; this was enough for 3 sandwiches

*pinch of salt

*mayonnaise to taste

*sliced ham; I used black forest ham

*sliced turkey

*sliced swiss cheese

*2 Tablespoons butter

*powdered sugar

Beat eggs together with the salt; set aside.

Place a desired amount of mayonnaise on one slice of bread.

Layer several slices of ham over the mayonnaise.

Add a slice of cheese over the ham.

Place several slices of the turkey over the cheese.

then layer more sliced cheese over the turkey.

Spread on more mayonnaise on to another slice of bread and place on top of the sandwich mayonnaise side down. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches.

Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add the butter.

Dip and coat both sides of the sandwich in the beaten the egg.

Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side until golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Remove from the skillet and lightly dust with powdered sugar.

Serve immediately and Enjoy!

Yep, it’s another breakfast sandwich. I do love a good breakfast, even though on weekday mornings I can’t really spend a lot of time in the kitchen. This breakfast sandwich is easy to make. It’s tasty and very satisfying as well with a few nice slices of black forest ham, crispy bacon, cheese and an over easy egg, all nestled in an English muffin. These freeze nicely as well. If you are going to freeze them, I would scramble the egg or wait and cook an egg after you have unthawed the sandwich. If you prefer making them fresh, but are a little pressed for time, pre cooked bacon is great in this as well.

Here’s what you need:

*English muffins

*butter

*sliced ham; I used deli black forest ham

*cheddar cheese; I used shredded because that is what I had on hand, but you can use sliced as well

*bacon, cooked; I used 1 slice per sandwich.

*eggs; one egg per sandwich

*hot sauce

Pre heat oven to 400°

In a non stick pan, cook eggs over easy.

While eggs are cooking, spread butter on the top and bottom of each english muffin and place on a baking sheet. I lined mine with foil for easy clean up.
