Ingredients Add to grocery list

8 slices bread (potato bread, challah, or any other soft bread)
1 cup fontina cheese, grated
8 slices cooked turkey breast
1/2 cup whole cranberry sauce
1 cup baby arugula leaves
3 eggs
1/3 cup milk
pinch nutmeg
2 tablespoons butter

Directions

Lay the 4 slices of the bread out on a cutting board.

On each slice, place 2 tablespoons of the fontina, followed by 2 slices of the turkey, and 2 tablespoons of the cranberry sauce.

Equally divide the arugula leaves and place on next layer.

Top with the remaining fontina and remaining bread slices.

Press down firmly on sandwiches to seal in the filling.

In a medium bowl, beat the eggs, milk, and nutmeg.

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the butter.

Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture coating both sides.

When butter is melted in skillet, add the sandwiches and cook until golden brown.

Flip sandwich and repeat with other side, adding more butter if necessary.

I'm going to try this, looks very good. Was just wondering if you have the calorie count on this one? I can think of a couple ways already to save calories on it.

Hey, Paula. I just copied the Turkey Cranberry Monte Cristo sandwich. I'm thinking to save some calories and instead of using the egg dip, just brush on a little olive oil and use the panini grill. (well, I really use my electric grill, but it works, without buy another appliance.) I have most of your cookbooks,including magazine subscription. The one I stll plan on getting is the Savannah cooking, which I'll get soon. I have the book you wrote about your life and the one your precious hubby wrote about life with you!! Both incredibly honest, and entertaining. Keep the faith, and keep on doin' what you're doin'. We're all lovin' you for it. Bonnie Sorensen
