| Monte Cristo Sandwich from Blue Bayou |
1 egg
1 3/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons water
1 3/4 cup flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
8 slices egg bread (challah works well), sliced 1/2-inch think
2/3 pound ham, cut into four slices
2/3 pound turkey cut into four slices
1/4 pound Swiss cheese cut into four slices
3 cups canola oil
powdered sugar
blackberry preserves
Line a cookie sheet with paper towels and set aside. To make the batter, whisk the egg and
water together in a mixing bowl. Add the flour, salt, and baking powder and whisk
thoroughly, scraping the sides of the bowl. Continue to whisk until smooth. On one slice of
bread arrange a slice each of ham, turkey and cheese, covering the bread evenly. Place
another slice of bread on top and slice the sandwich in half diagonally. In a 10-inch pan
heat the oil to between 365 and 375. Do not let the oil reach a higher temperature than
this, if oil starts to smoke, turn it down.
Dip half of the sandwich in the batter, allowing the excess to drain and very carefully place
in the oil. Repeat with the other sandwich half. Cook for three minutes on each side. Place
the cooked sandwich on the prepared cookie sheet in a warm oven until ready to serve.
Repeat with the other three sandwiches. Cook the sandwiches one at a time and allow the
oil to reach the desired temperature between each batch. Sprinkle sandwiches lightly with
powdered sugar and serve with blackberry preserves on the side. Serves 4.
