The Full Monty Cristo (lower Fat)

Total Time: 23 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 8 mins

Ingredients

  • Servings: 2
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon brandy
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons prepared mustard
  • 4 slices bread (sourdough is delicious)
  • non-fat cooking spray
  • 2 slices low-fat ham
  • 2 slices lean turkey breast
  • 2 slices reduced-fat swiss cheese
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 2 -3 tablespoons raspberry preserves

Recipe

  • 1 stir the honey and mustard together in a small bowl.
  • 2 make two sandwiches: line up four slices of bread and spread 1/4 of the honey mustard on each slice; on two of the slices, place one piece each of ham, turkey and cheese (trim to fit on top of the bread and not hanging over), then top each meat-covered slice with one of the other slices of bread, honey-mustard side facing into the meat. (o.k., you know how to make a sandwich by instinct - it's easier to do than explain.).
  • 3 pour the milk in a large measuring cup and add the eggs and brandy; whisk together until the eggs are fully beaten.
  • 4 place the sandwiches in a rectangular casserole dish; pour the egg mixture over the top of the sandwiches,then flip over the sandwiches - moving them around the dish as necessary so the liquid gets absorbed on both sides.
  • 5 heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat, and spray with non-fat cooking spray; cook sandwiches 3-4 minutes on each side or until egg mixture is cooked through and bread is turning golden brown; remove from skillet and turn off heat.
  • 6 cut each sandwich in half diagonally; dust with powdered sugar and serve with warm raspberry preserves.
