The Monte Cristo sandwich is a true culinary delight – a harmonious blend of sweet and savory flavors that has captivated brunch and lunch enthusiasts for generations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 9 slices honey wheat bread
  • 9 slices roasted turkey, deli meat – we prefer a thick cut
  • 9 slices honey ham, deli meat – we prefer a thick cut
  • 3 slices mild cheddar cheese
  • 3 slices Swiss cheese
  • 3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 2/3 cup water
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • Vegetable or canola oil, for deep frying
  • 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar

Instructions

1. 1. Assemble the Sandwiches: Layer the turkey, ham, cheddar, and Swiss between slices of bread to make 3 sandwiches. Press gently to secure the layers.

2. 2. Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually whisk in the water and beaten eggs until the batter is smooth and lump-free.

3. 3. Heat the Oil: In a deep fryer or large skillet, heat the oil to 350°F.

4. 4. Dip and Fry: Carefully dip each sandwich into the batter, coating it evenly. Gently lower the battered sandwiches into the hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides, about 3-5 minutes per side. Drain the fried sandwiches on paper towels.

5. 5. Serve and Enjoy: Sprinkle the fried Monte Cristo sandwiches with confectioners’ sugar and serve with the raspberry preserves and honey mustard on the side for dipping.

Notes

The key to perfect Monte Cristo sandwiches is to ensure the oil is at the right temperature and to gently lower the battered sandwiches into the oil to prevent them from falling apart.
