The nice thing about working with your significant other especially when you are prego and he happens to be director of food service/executive chef is you get to crave something and boom!
Funny thing is that mel out of no where asks for a monte cristo in the middle of our lunch rush. Well you know you gotta take care of the baby so of course I oblidged. Check out the recipe below.
Monte Cristo
For sandwich
Sliced Roasted turkey 2oz
Sliced Black forest ham 2oz
Gruyere cheese 2 slices
Texas toast 2 slices
Raspberry preserves 1oz
Mayonnaise 1oz
Tempura Batter 4oz
Sugar .5cup
Water 1cup
For french toast batter
Whole eggs 2oz
Whole milk 2oz
Ground Cinnamon 2tbs
Ground Nutmeg tps
Combine all batter ingredients until well incorporated and set aside. Pre heat griddle to medium high heat. Take the Texas toast and generously dip into batter and straight to hot griddle. Once you see some color flip and put a slice of gruyere cheese on each. Finish cooking the french toast and melting the cheese at the same time. Spread mayonnaise on on alice and raspbeerry preserves on the other. Finish assembling the sandwich with the deli meats and take off the griddle. Wait a minute to cool and tightly wrap the sandwich and refrigerate for 15 minutes so the sandwich doesent fall apart when frying. Prepare tempura batter by combining water, sugar, and tempura mixture. Take the sandwiches then dip in the batter and quickly fry in hot oil. Dust with powdered sugar.
Its messy for sure but well worth all the effort so you dont always have to go to disney land for a monte cristo. Works especially well if you are pregelnant according to the wife. Much love and enjoy!
