Time 15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 quart oil for frying, or as needed
⅔ cup water
1 egg
⅔ cup all-purpose flour
1 ¾ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
8 slices white bread
4 slices Swiss cheese
4 slices turkey
4 slices ham
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar for dusting

Steps:

  • Heat 5 inches of oil in a deep-fryer to 365 degrees F (180 degrees C). While oil is heating, make the batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg and water. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt and pepper; whisk into the egg mixture until smooth. Set aside in the refrigerator.
  • Assemble sandwiches by placing one slice of turkey on one slice of bread, a slice of ham on another, then sandwich them with the Swiss cheese in the middle. Cut sandwiches into quarters, and secure with toothpicks.
  • Dip each sandwich quarter in the batter so that all sides are coated. Deep fry in the hot oil until golden brown on all sides. Remove toothpicks and arrange on a serving tray. Dust with confectioners' sugar just before serving.

Tips:

  • To ensure a perfectly even and golden-brown color when grilling your Monte Cristo sandwich, use a large enough skillet or griddle to accommodate it without overcrowding. This will prevent the sandwich from cooking unevenly and burning on one side.
  • You can easily customize your Monte Cristo sandwich to suit your preferences: try different types of bread, cheese, ham, and jelly or fruit preserves. You can also add a layer of cooked bacon or avocado for extra flavor and texture.
  • If you don't have a griddle or skillet, you can also cook your Monte Cristo sandwich in a panini press. Just be sure to preheat the press well before cooking and use a medium-high heat setting to ensure that the sandwich is cooked through.
  • Serve your grilled Monte Cristo sandwich immediately, while it is still hot and crispy. You can garnish it with a sprinkle of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special touch.
