How to Make Baked Monte Cristo Sandwich

  1. Assemble the sandwiches: Layer 2 slices of bread with ham, turkey, and Swiss cheese. Top with the remaining bread slices.
  2. Whisk together eggs, milk, nutmeg, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish.
  3. Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
  4. Heat the melted butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
  5. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until lightly browned.
  6. Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C).
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the bread is golden brown and crispy.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before cutting in half (diagonally, if desired).
  9. Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately with syrup or jam, if desired.
