Monte Cristo Sandwich with Jam
These Monte Cristo Sandwiches are the classic diner sandwich dressed up as a fancy appetizer! Griddled sandwiches filled with ham, turkey and fontina cheese, with a side of homemade jam for dipping!
Ingredients
For the Raspberry-Malbec Jam:
- 2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons malbec or other red wine
For the Monte Cristo Party Bites:
- 2 eggs
- 4 slices Challah bread crusts removed, if desired
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3 ounces sliced deli ham
- 3 ounces sliced deli turkey
- 2 ounces sliced Fontina cheese
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Make the Raspberry-Malbec Jam:
- In medium saucepan, stir together raspberries, sugar and wine. Heat to boiling over medium-high heat. Reduce head to medium; cook 8 to 10 minutes or until mixture is thickened to an almost jam-like consistency (mixture will continue to thicken as it cools). Serve slightly warm or cover and refrigerate up to 3 days. Makes about 3/4 cup jam.
Make the Monte Cristo Party Bites:
- Heat griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium heat. In wide, shallow bowl, whisk eggs until well beaten. Place bread on work surface; spread each slice with mustard. Build sandwiches by layering two bread slices with ham, turkey, cheese, and remaining bread.
- Lightly spray griddle with cooking spray. Gently press sandwiches; dip all sides in egg, letting excess egg drip off. Place sandwiches on griddle; cook 8 to 10 minutes or until bread is golden brown and fillings are warm, gently flipping halfway through cook time. Transfer sandwiches to cutting board; cut each sandwich into quarters and serve with Raspberry-Malbec Jam.
Notes
- If you're short on time, feel free to use store-bought jam.
