Ingredients

Directions

On a work surface, lay out 2 slices of bread and spread with mayonnaise. Top each slice with the 1 slice of Gouda and 1 slice of turkey each. Put the third slice of bread on top of one stack, and flip the remaining stack on top, cheese-side down, to make a triple-decker sandwich.

Using a knife, cut the crusts off the sandwich (this helps to pinch and seal the ends). Wrap the sandwich tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 6 hours. (Wrapping the sandwich in plastic wrap, compacts it, and prevents the egg batter from seeping in.)

Combine the eggs and milk in a bowl. Heat the oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Unwrap the sandwich and dip it in the egg batter, to coat evenly. Gently place it in the skillet, and fry, turning once, until golden brown and hot, about 5 minutes total.

Cut the Monte Cristo in 1/2, transfer it to a place, and garnish with the strawberry and orange. Spoon some jam over each 1/2 and serve immediately.

    I have made this the "traditional" way (ham, swiss, and turkey but this time I made it with turkey and sweet munchee cheese. I mixed the mayonnaise with some honey mustard dressing. I used Arnold Country White bread. Cutting off the crusts and wrapping in plastic wrap really helps with the finished product. I also served it with raspberry preserves. Potato chips on the side. Really delicious and a great "make ahead" for busy afternoons/evenings!

    This is a simple, easy, and yummy recipe. I used cream cheese instead of mayo and added ham. I thought the cream cheese would taste better with the jam. I made it for my family and they loved it!
