Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 eggs
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 cup Neely's BBQ sauce
8 slices hearty white sandwich bread
8 thin slices deli smoked Gouda
8 thin slices deli baked honey ham
8 thin slices deli smoked turkey
Neely's Dry Rub, for dusting, optional

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Heat a large griddle pan over medium heat with vegetable oil.
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, cream, sugar, salt, and cayenne until blended. Pour into an 8 by 8-inch baking pan.
Spread some of the barbecue sauce onto each slice of bread. On 4 pieces bread, add 1 slice each of cheese, ham, and turkey, and repeat layer. Top with the other pieces of bread and press the sandwiches together with your hands. Dip into the wet batter turn to coat.
Add the battered sandwiches to the hot griddle and cook until golden brown on 1 side. Flip and continue cooking the other side until golden. Remove to a rack-lined sheet tray. Put into the preheated oven and bake until the cheese melts, about 5 more minutes. Remove to a cutting board and slice into triangles. Dust with Neely's dry rub, if desired, and serve.

I'm not a fan of ham and turkey, so I substituted chicken and bacon. It was still delicious!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sandwich didn't turn out crispy at all. It was more like a soggy mess.

I thought the sandwich was a bit bland. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

I've tried several monte cristo sandwich recipes and this one is by far the best. The secret is in the bread. The challah bread makes all the difference.
