    each of Swiss cheese, American cheese, ham, and turkey on top of the mustard. Spread mustard
    lightly on the remaining slice of bread and place this slice on top.
  • Cut the whole sandwich
    into two halves.
  • Repeat for second Monte Cristo sandwich.
  • Beat egg, milk and
    salt. Melt butter in a skillet over medium high heat. Dip the sandwich halves into the egg mixture,
    covering both sides.
  • Place in a skillet with melted butter and brown all sides, adding
    more butter as needed.
  • As a garnish, sprinkle a small amount of powdered sugar over the
    top of the sandwich.
