TUNA MONTE CRISTO SANDWICH

Steps:

• Combine tuna, celery, onions, and mayonnaise.
• Place 1 slice cheese on one bread slice. Spread tuna salad evenly over the slice of cheese. Top with remaining slice of cheese and bread slice.
• Combine milk and egg in shallow bowl; stir until well blended. Dip sandwiches in egg mixture, turning to coat well.
• Melt butter in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add sandwiches; cook 4 to 5 minutes per side or until cheese melts and sandwiches are golden brown.

MONTE CRISTO SANDWICH

Steps:

• On a work surface, lay out 2 slices of bread and spread with mayonnaise. Top each slice with the 1 slice of Gouda and 1 slice of turkey each. Put the third slice of bread on top of one stack, and flip the remaining stack on top, cheese-side down, to make a triple-decker sandwich.
• Using a knife, cut the crusts off the sandwich (this helps to pinch and seal the ends). Wrap the sandwich tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 6 hours. (Wrapping the sandwich in plastic wrap, compacts it, and prevents the egg batter from seeping in.)
• Combine the eggs and milk in a bowl. Heat the oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Unwrap the sandwich and dip it in the egg batter, to coat evenly. Gently place it in the skillet, and fry, turning once, until golden brown and hot, about 5 minutes total.
• Cut the Monte Cristo in 1/2, transfer it to a place, and garnish with the strawberry and orange. Spoon some jam over each 1/2 and serve immediately.

BAKED MONTE CRISTO SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• Top 4 of the bread slices with cheese, ham, and remaining bread slices.
• Beat egg whites and milk in shallow dish or pie plate.
• Dip each sandwich into egg mixture, turning to coat both sides (let bread soak about 5 seconds on each side(.
• Place sandwiches on baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray.
• Bake 6 minutes; turn. Bake an additional 5 minutes or until sandwiches are golden brown.

• While the oil is heating prepare the batter; in a medium bowl whisk together the egg and water.

• To assemble the sandwiches; place one slice of turkey one one slice of bread, then a slice of ham on an other slice of bread, then "sandwich" them with a slice of Swiss cheese in the middle.
• Cut the sandwich into quarters then secure with toothpicks.
• Dip each sandwich quarter into the batter so that all the sides are coated.
• Deep-fry in hot oil until golden brown on all sides.
• Remove the toothpicks and arrange on a serving tray.
