Products and recipes

Crispy, cheesy, sweet, and savory all at once — this Monte Cristo Toastie is the ultimate comfort sandwich. Layers of melty cheese and smoky ham are tucked between thick slices of bread, then toasted until golden and perfectly crunchy.

Ingredients

• 4 slices of sourdough bread
• 100g sliced ham
• 100g sliced turkey
• 1 cup gruyere cheese, grated
• 100g sliced Swiss cheese
• 4 eggs
• ¼ cup raspberry jam
• Icing sugar, for dusting
• ¼ cup cream
• 100g butter, softened

Method

1. Crack eggs into a wide mixing bowl, add cream and whisk to combine.
2. Place 2 slices of sourdough onto a clean board. Spread each slice with raspberry jam, add grated gruyere cheese, sliced ham, sliced turkey and Swiss cheese. Place the other 2 slices of bread on top and butter the outside of the bread.
3. Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Dip each sandwich into the egg mix, coating the top and bottom piece of bread. Let any excess egg drain off and place the sandwich into the frying pan. Repeat with the other sandwich. Cook for 3-4 mins each side until deep golden and the egg coating is fully set.
4. Serve dusted in icing sugar and enjoy!
