How to Make Wisconsin Monte Cristo Sandwich

  1. In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, yogurt, and salt.
  2. Brush one side of each bread slice with melted butter.
  3. Layer 2 slices of bread, butter-side down. Top with ham, Swiss cheese, and cheddar cheese.
  4. Top with the remaining 2 slices of bread, butter-side in.
  5. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large cast iron skillet (or non-stick skillet) over medium-low heat.
  6. Carefully dip both sides of the sandwich in the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Gently press to help it adhere.
  7. Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey. Cover the skillet for the first few minutes to help the cheese melt evenly.
  8. Add more butter to the skillet as needed to prevent sticking.
  9. Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately. Enjoy!
