Monte Cristos

These sammies are gooood! They are easy, and even better, you can pretty much do what you want with them.

Building your sandwich: {My rendition}

Spread some low fat cream cheese on one of the slices of bread. Place some kind of sandwich meat on top. {We went with ham} Top the meat with Swiss cheese, then sliced tomatoes. Put the sandwich together. 

Here is where the Monte Cristo part comes in.

In a bowl, scramble eggs {I do one egg per sandwich} with a titch of milk and about a 1/4 t. dried basil.  Then, whip out your french toast skills and dip both sides of the sandwich in the egg. Place on a warm frying pan and cook, browning both sides. To get the nice browning and melting of the cheese, cover while cooking.

This is a new favorite in our house. It's a great simple sandwich, everyone loves it, AND you can mix and match ingredients to build your own Monte Cristo to your own likings if you so choose.  I highly recommend trying these.
