Directions
MONTE CRISTO SANDWICHES
- On a plate, whisk together the eggs, milk, and seasoned salt, paper, and set aside.
- To make each sandwich, lay three pieces of bread on your work surface. Spread a thin layer of the mayo mixture (about 1 tsp) on one piece and top that with one slice of cheese followed by one slice of turkey. To the second slice of bread, spread a little more mayo and top with one slice of turkey followed by one slice of cheese (it’s important that the cheese is on top of the 1 )
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat, add the butter or oil, and allow the butter to melt and the mixture to get nice and hot.
- Dip each sandwich (carefully) in the beaten egg mixture making sure both sides are well coated in the egg.
- Place the sandwiches in the hot skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until the outside is a lovely golden brown color and the cheese is fully melted.
CROQUE MONSIEUR
- Preheat your oven to 200 degrees.
- In a small saucepan, melt together the butter, add the flour and cook them together stirring constantly for about a minute. Add the milk, season with salt, pepper, mustard paste, and cook the sauce on medium heat until it thickens, it should take about 5 minutes.
- To assemble the sandwich, smear some of the mustard on both slices of the bread, spread some sauce on one slice lay some cheese followed by a slice of mortadella. Top with the other slice of bread, smear some of the sauce on top of the bread and top it with some cheese.
- Pop the sandwiches in the oven but make sure your oven rack is not right under the broiler otherwise the cheese will burn.
- Allow the cheese to brown and bubble and enjoy it!
