Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 4 slices bread of choice I like Italian loaf or sourdough. Use gluten-free bread if needed.
- 1 tablespoon milk or water
- 2 slices Swiss or Gruyere cheese Or use more as desired
- 4 slices ham or turkey (~2 ounces) Or used shaved meat
- 1 tablespoon raspberry jam
- 1 tablespoon oil or butter
- honey (optional)
Instructions
- Lightly whisk egg and milk (or water) in a bowl. The bowl should be large enough to dip bread in, so a shallow bowl works best.Divide ham or turkey between 2 slices of bread and top with cheese. Add raspberry jam to the remaining slices of bread, then place bread jam-side down onto the meat and cheese, creating sandwiches.
- Add oil or butter to a cast iron skillet and place on a hot campfire grate to pre-heat the pan.Dip each of the sandwiches briefly in the egg mixture, then place in skillet.
- Cook Monte Cristo sandwiches on one side for about 3 minutes, or until golden. (Timing will vary depending on how hot your pan is.)Flip and cook the other side for about 3 minutes, until golden brown with melted cheese.
- Optionally, drizzle with honey. Serve immediately while still hot.
