This is not a typical Monte Cristo; since I don't really care for turkey, I opted to double the ham. Whatever you add on the inside is up to you, but the batter for this is just about perfect!
Enjoy!
Amy's Monte Cristo
(adapted from here)
INGREDIENTS
oil for frying
2/3 cup water
1 egg
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 slices white bread
4 slices Swiss cheese (I used mozzarella as that's what we had!)
8 slices ham
4 T. honey mustard dressing
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar for dusting, optional
DIRECTIONS
Heat 1-2 inches of oil in high-sided frying pan.
While oil is heating, whisk together the egg and water. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt, and whisk until smooth.
Assemble sandwiches by spreading honey mustard on 4 of the slices of bread. Place one slice of ham on one slice of bread, a slice of ham on another, then sandwich them with the cheese in the middle. Cut sandwiches in halves.
Dip each sandwich half in the batter so that all sides are coated. Deep fry in the hot oil until golden brown on all sides. If desired, dust with confectioners' sugar just before serving.
Meal Rating: 5 out of 5. Quick, easy, cheap, and while not at all healthy, totally tasty!
