Featured Maple Leaf Product: Boneless Toupie Ham (#52672)
Ham, Apple & Cheddar Monte Cristo – NEW
Recipe Information
Method
- Slice toupie ham into 60 slices using a meat slicer or by hand. Hold at <40'F/4'C until later step.
- Core apples and cut into thin slices. Set aside.
- In a medium-size mixing bowl, beat liquid eggs, milk, and nutmeg.
- Lay slices of the thick-sliced or French bread on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Top each bread slice with 1 slice (21g) of cheddar cheese, then layer a single layer of sliced apples (25 g) on top, sliced toupie ham(60 g), and then with another slice (21g) of cheddar slice. Top each with the remaining slices of bread.
- Heat grill to medium heat. Grease heated grill with oil.
- Dip each sandwich into the egg batter, coating completely and place directly on the grill. Cook sandwiches for 3-4 minutes per side until the bread is golden and cheese is melted. Remove from the grill and place in a 2" deep insert pan with lid. Hold at >140'F/60'C until service.
- Cut each sandwich into half diagonally along with 1 oz/30 mls of maple syrup. Dust lightly with powdered sugar.
