Ingredients

  • 8 slices center cut or apple wood smoked bacon
  • 4 large eggs, beaten
  • Warm 1/4 cup half-and-half
  • 1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg or ground -- eyeball it
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper -- eyeball it
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 8 thick cut sliced whole-grain soft bread, white, or challah
  • 1/2 cup brown mustard
  • 1/2 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
  • 1/2 pound sliced havarti cheese
  • 1 pound sliced ham

Directions

Heat a griddle pan or large skillet over medium high heat. Cook bacon and remove to paper towels to drain, 5 minutes. Drain off fat. Reheat griddle over medium heat. Make sandwiches in 2 batches.

Beat eggs with half-and-half, nutmeg and pepper. Add 1 tablespoon butter to the griddle or pan and melt. Turn 4 slices bread in batter, then add to griddle or pan. Turn bread after it browns, 2 to 3 minutes. Top 2 bread slices with mustard, the other 2 with cranberry sauce. Add 2 slices of cheese and bacon on the cranberry covered bread. Add ham, then turkey to the mustard covered bread. Use a spatula to assemble 2 sandwiches and turn and press gently to set sandwiches in place. Repeat to make 2 more sandwiches.

    This is the best Monte Cristo I've ever had. I made some substitutions to make it healthier for me, but it was fantastic. It helped to fulfill a sweet and savory craving. Rachael Ray ROCKS!

    My bread slices were nice and thick. It was hard to get them coated without them getting too soaked with the egg mixture. My havarti wasn't satisfying enough..I wanted more of a spice to my cheese. It filled the belly for lunch but not going to add to the permanent collection.
