A “Western” version of the classic Monte Cristo with Texas toast sandwiching the tender ham and cheese, accented with a zesty mostarda and a French toast batter all cooked to a crispy golden brown.
1 lb | Charlie’s Pride American Kurobuta Ham, thinly sliced |
6 | Eggs |
½ cup | Milk |
½ tsp | Kosher salt |
¼ tsp | Black pepper |
¼ cup | Whole grain mustard |
¼ cup | Raspberry preserves |
8 slices | Texas toast |
4 slices | Swiss cheese |
2 Tbsp | Butter |
In a medium bowl whisk together eggs, milk, salt and pepper. In a small bowl, mix together mustard and raspberry preserves to make the mostarda. On one side of each slice of Texas toast, spread 1 tablespoon mostarda, top with 4 slices ham and 1 slice cheese. Melt butter in sauté pan over medium heat; dip assembled sandwich in egg batter and place in pan. When golden brown, flip and continue cooking until both sides are golden. Repeat with remaining sandwiches, serve immediately.
