Super Monte Cristo Sandwiches

Super Monte Cristo Sandwiches

  • Sliced sandwich bread
  • Deli sliced honey or boiled ham
  • Deli sliced turkey
  • Deli sliced Swiss cheese
  • Canned pineapple slices
  • 2 to 3 cups corn flakes, semi-crushed
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • Raspberry jam (or favorite flavor)
  • Vegetable oil
  • Make the sandwiches by layering the turkey, ham, cheese and pineapple slices (blotted to remove excess moisture ). 
  • Cut the sandwiches diagonally to form triangles. 
  • Wrap the sandwiches tightly and semi-freeze them to keep them from falling apart while working with them. 
  • When you are ready to fry the sandwiches, beat the egg and milk into a light mixture. 
  • Dip the sandwiches into the egg mixture, covering all surfaces, then cover in corn flakes. 
  • Repeat this process one more time. 
  • Put wooden picks into the sandwich halves to secure if necessary. 
  • If deep frying the sandwiches, submerge and cook for approximately 1 to 1 1/2 minutes or until the corn flakes are golden brown. 
  • Remove and allow to drain. 
  • If pan-frying the sandwiches; follow the recipe above, making sure the oil is hot enough to prevent sticking but not too hot to burn the bottoms. 
  • Fry on each side for about 45 seconds or until golden brown. 
  • Again drain on paper towels. 
  • Serve with a side of raspberry jam for dipping.
