Blackstone Monte Cristo
When your favorite ham, turkey, and cheese sandwich gets dipped in egg custard and fried on the Blackstone, the results are marvelous. See for yourself.
Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup milk
- 4 slices sourdough bread or other sturdy sandwich bread
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 4 slices turkey
- ½ cup shredded Gruyère cheese
- 4 slices ham
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Whisk the egg and milk together in a large bowl.
- Spread two slices of bread with mayonnaise on one side. Spread the remaining two slices of bread with Dijon mustard on one side.
- Place two slices of turkey on the mustard-coated bread slices. Top with shredded cheese, dividing it evenly. Add two slices of ham to each sandwich, then top with the remaining bread slices, mayo side down.
- Working with one sandwich at a time, dip it into the egg batter, turning to coat it completely. Let any excess drip back into the bowl. Transfer it to a plate and repeat with the remaining sandwich.
- Heat the griddle to medium. Add the butter and let it melt.
- Fry the sandwiches in the butter, flipping once, until the cheese is melted and they are golden brown on both sides, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Serve immediately.
