Ingredients
Instructions
-
Begin by assembling the sandwiches. On 4 slices of bread, layer 2 slices of ham, 2 slices of Swiss cheese, and a few slices of avocado. Top with the remaining 4 slices of bread to form 4 sandwiches.
-
In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. This will be the egg wash for the sandwiches.
-
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a knob of butter to coat the surface.
-
Dip each sandwich into the egg wash, making sure to coat both sides evenly.
-
Place the dipped sandwiches onto the hot skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
-
Once the sandwiches are cooked, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for a minute before slicing them in half.
-
Serve the Avocado Monte Cristo hot with a drizzle of maple syrup on the side for dipping or pouring over the top.
-
Enjoy your delicious Avocado Monte Cristo sandwiches alongside a hot cup of coffee or a refreshing mimosa for a perfect brunch experience!
