How to Make Turkey Monte Cristo Sandwich

  1. Lay out 8 slices of bread on a work surface.
  2. Spread one side of each slice of bread with Dijon mustard.
  3. Spread 4 ounces of shredded Gruyere cheese on 4 slices of bread.
  4. Top with 4 ounces of thinly sliced turkey breast. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Evenly spread 1/4 cup of cranberry sauce over the turkey.
  6. Top with the remaining 4 ounces of turkey breast.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and cover with the remaining 4 ounces of cheese and the remaining bread slices.
  8. Gently press down on each sandwich to compact the layers.
  9. In a shallow dish, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup milk, and salt and pepper to taste.
  10. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  11. Heat 2 large skillets over medium-low heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of oil to each pan.
  12. Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated, and place in the hot skillets.
  13. Cook until golden brown, approximately 4 minutes per side.
  14. Transfer the sandwiches to a baking sheet and bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve immediately and enjoy!
