My Monte Cristo

These sandwiches came out so good...the mixture of salty and sweet was perfect!

My Monte Cristo

Maple Aioli
1/2 cup mayonnaise
3 tbsp maple syrup
2 tbsp brown sugar
2 tsp dijon mustard

For each sandwich:
4 slices of turkey
1 strip of bacon (cut in half)
1 slice gouda cheese
1 slice muenster
 Sliced bread (the thicker the better) I used an italian sliced bread, but you can use any thick sliced bread that you prefer.

2 eggs
1/4 cup milk
2 tsp dijon mustard
1/8 tsp cinnamon

 For the aioli:
Mix the mayo, syrup, brown sugar and dijon mustard and set aside.
 

Mix 2 eggs, 1/4 cup milk, 2 tsp dijon mustard and 1/8 tsp cinnamon in a small casserole dish.

Make the sandwiches.....Start by spreading a layer of the maple aioli, then the bacon, turkey, ham and cheeses. when the sandwich is assembled, dip both sides in the egg mixture and put into a hot cast iron skillet. Cover and flip after 2-4 minutes....until browned and the cheese is melted.

Traditionally, these are served with strawberry preserves. I had a homemade Spicy Pear jam that I used.
