Monte Cristo Sandwich $3.34


this comes from my Rachael Ray cookbook. I love to take certain cook/chefs and tweak their recipes so I can put them in my blog. This recipe worked, not only are all the ingredients available at my local convenience store, the recipe was easy and I was able to cup some of the fat and calories, because this is a traditionally fattening sandwich.

spray a cookie sheet with non stick oil
crack eggs in bowl and whisk in water
dip one side of bread of all 8 slices in the egg batter
layer the sandwiches with meat and cheese and close sandwich with top peice of egg battered bread(making sure to keep the egg batter side for the the outside)
heat skillet on medium and place two sandwiches
cover with lid and cook on one side for approx 5 minutes, egg batter should start to form a crust, almost looking like frenchtoast
flip the sandwich on the otherside and cook another 5 minutes.
sandwich is ready when the bread is crusty and the egg is cooked and the cheese is melted.

make 4 sandwiches
8 slices wholewheat bread .80
4 slices swiss cheese .60
8 slices ham 1.60
2 eggs .30
1/4 cup milk .04
