STEELERS LATE NIGHT "Late Night Tailgating Recipes": Monte Cristo Sandwiches
COOKING TIME: 1 - 1½ hours
SERVING SIZE: 4 people
INGREDIENTS:
- 12 slices white bread
- Mayonnaise, to taste
- 8 slices Gouda
- 8 slices turkey
- 12 large eggs, beaten
- 3/4 cup milk
- 8 tbsp. vegetable oil
- 4 tbsp. unsalted butter
- Strawberry slices, for garnish
- Orange wedges, for garnish
- Blackberry jam (optional)
PREPARATION:
1. On a work surface, lay out 8 slices of bread and spread with mayonnaise. Top each slice with one slice of Gouda and one slice of turkey. Put another slice of bread on top of 4 of the stacks, and flip the remaining stacks on top, cheese-side down to make triple-decker sandwiches.
2. Using a knife, cut the crusts off the sandwiches (this helps to pinch and seal the ends). Wrap each sandwich tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 6 hours.
3. Combine the eggs and milk in a bowl. Heat the oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Unwrap the sandwiches and dip them 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).
4. Cut the sandwiches in 1/2 and garnish with strawberry and orange. Spoon some jam over each 1/2 and serve.
