Heavenly Monte Cristo

~ ~ ~

This sandwich, created by my hubby, is his version of the original Monte Cristo.

I really thought he had lost his mind!

I mean who makes a sandwich out of Angel Food cake!?!?

But after thinking about it I thought the idea had some interesting qualities

so we went for it and decided to give it a try.

Heavenly Monte Cristo

First off you need an Angel Food cake {store bought or homemade works}

Cut into extra thick slices-3 slices per sandwich

We made our Angel Food Cake in loaf pans to make it easier.

The picture above is from a different time we made it but we forgot to take the picture

this time we made it- Sorry;)

Preheat the griddle to 350 degrees.

Now this next part might sound kinda gross but I promise it wasn't!

Take the bottom piece of cake/bread and spread it with a little mayo and mustard-teehee

Layer on your turkey, ham and swiss cheese then another slice of cake/bread and

spread with only mayo. Do another layer same as above and top with final piece

cake/bread.

Place 4 toothpicks in a diamond shape to hold the sandwich together.

Then slice diagonally across.

You'll have 4 sandwiches.

Now make an egg batter using 2 eggs and 1 c. milk.

Dip the sections of sandwich 1 at a time.

Immediately place on hot griddle.

Make sure you fry all 5 sides.

Slide the toothpick to get the top and bottom grilled.

No need to sprinkle with powdered sugar cuz it's plenty sweet:)

Verdict: Delish, unique, ya gotta try it!!
