Copycat Disney Monte Cristo Sandwiches
If you’ve never had one, the Disney Monte Cristo sandwich seems kind of weird. It’s like a cross between a club sandwich and French toast.
Servings: 6 1/2 sandwich per serving
Ingredients
Batter:
- 1 ¼ cups water
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon white pepper
- 1 ⅓ cups flour
- 2 ¼ teaspoons baking powder
Sandwiches:
- 6 slices of white bread
- 9 slices of turkey
- 9 slices of ham
- 9 slices of swiss cheese
- Vegetable oil for frying enough for 1 inch of oil in the bottom of the pan
Garnish:
- Powdered sugar
- Blackberry jam
Instructions
- To make the batter, mix water, egg, salt & pepper in a medium sized bowl. Whisk in flour and baking powder. Chill (I chilled if for about 30 minutes).
- To make sandwiches, layer bread with 3 layers of ham, turkey and cheese
- Cut each of the 3 sandwiches in half diagonally.
- Pour ½-1 inch of oil into the bottom of your pan, heat on medium (test temp by dropping a small drop of batter into the oil until it sizzles)
- Dip each sandwich half into the batter.
- Place two sandwich triangles into the oil. (more if pan allows)
- Flip each triangle when they begin to turn golden brown.
- Drain on a paper towel. (Optional: place on a cookie sheet to keep warm in the oven)
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve with a side of blackberry jam.
