Monte Cristo!

I may have just killed my husband with one of these.  They are delicious.

Mammal-Free Monte Cristos- This recipe makes 2 sandwiches, but I really hope you could have figured that out on your own.


Nouns-
4 slices high-quality white bread (I used a rustic boule)
4 slices swiss cheese
4 ounces of honey roasted turkey breast
2 eggs
1/4 cup milk
currant jam or blackberry preserves
3 tbsp butter
1 tbsp powdered sugar
toothpicks

Verbs-
In a shallow dish, whisk together the milk and eggs.  Then, heat the butter in a medium skillet over medium high heat.  While butter is heating, assemble one sandwich, as follows: bread, cheese, turkey, cheese, bread.


Slide a toothpick on an angle through the sandwich on each long side to hold it together while frying.
Gently lay the sandwich in the sizzling butter.

Fry each side for 2-3 minutes, turning very gently and carefully.

 Remove the sandwich from the pan and lay on a paper towel to cool.  Repeat with the second sandwich.  Garnish with sieved powdered sugar and serve with the jam or preserves.  And napkins.  Lots of napkins.
