Keto Monte Cristo Sandwich
This keto Monte Cristo sandwich is an easy and tasty low-carb recipe. Full of ham, turkey, and swiss cheese for a warm griddled lunch or dinner. If you enjoy ordering this at Disneyland's Blue Bayou or Cafe Orleans, this is the recipe for you.
Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon butter
For the sandwiches
- 4 slices keto white sandwich bread (or other keto white bread)
- 6 slices deli lunch ham thin-sliced
- 6 slices deli lunch turkey thin-sliced
- 4 slices Swiss cheese thin-sliced
- 2 tablespoon powdered monk fruit sweetener (or other no-calorie powdered sugar replacement)
Instructions
- In a shallow rimmed dish, such as a pie pan, beat the egg with a whisk. Then add the vanilla, cinnamon, and heavy whipping cream and whisk together.
- Place both slices of sandwich bread next to one another on a plate. On top of each slice, add a slice of swiss cheese. Then on a slice of cheese, pile up 3 slices of ham. On the other slice of cheese, pile up 3 slices of turkey. Bring both halves together to make one sandwich.
- Take each Monte Cristo sandwich and dip each side into the egg dip batter. Make sure it soaks in a bit into the bread but does not saturate it all the way through (this will make the sandwich too soggy). Should be about 5-10 seconds on each side, depending on the bread you are using.
- Put the butter on a flat griddle pan or fry pan and heat to medium-high on the stove. Once the pan is hot and the butter is melted, add your sandwich and cook on each side for about 4-5 minutes. Each side should be golden brown as seen below and the cheese will have just begun to melt.
- Let the sandwiches cool a minute before cutting them in half. Once ready, cut and then dust 1 TB of powdered monk fruit over each.
