Ingredients

Eight 1/2 inch thick slices challah bread or brioche
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
6 ounces smoked Gouda cheese, shredded
12 ounces thinly sliced cooked turkey breast
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup whole berry cranberry sauce or relish
3 large eggs
1/3 cup milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions

To make the sandwiches: Lay the bread out on the work surface. Spread one side of each slice with the mustard. Spread half of the cheese on 4 slices of the bread. Cover with half of the turkey and season with salt and pepper to taste. Evenly spread the cranberry on the turkey on the sandwich. Top with the remaining turkey; season with salt and pepper to taste, and cover with the remaining cheese and bread. Press down slightly on each sandwich.

In a lipped plate or dish, whisk together the eggs and milk, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat 2 large skillets over medium-low heat, add a tablespoon of both butter and oil to each pan. Dip and coat each of the sandwiches in the egg mixture and lay in the pans. Cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the sandwiches to a baking sheet and bake until the cheese is melted, about 6 to 8 minutes.

Fantastic
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This sandwich turns out perfectly everytime. I use challah bread and thinly sliced cracked pepper turkey breast from the... deli. Instead of cranberry sauce I use an organic mixed fruit jam. It's become my son's favorite sandwich. He asks me to make two extra so he can have one for breakfast and one after school the next day!Read more

Monte Cristo is crist-astic
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this recipe on a whim for my fiance ... it ended up tasting like a grilled cheese hamburger! Granted, I used ground... turkey meat and ended up not having the berries ... but it still tasted very good. I will definitely make this filling recipe again.Read more

Medley of flavors
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Fantastic sandwich. I used the challah bread. The combination of ingredients created a mildly saltly, sweet and smoky... sandwich. My only addition was to place margarine on one side of the bread. My family loved this recipe. This would be a great brunch sandwich.Read more
