This Monte Cristo sandwich takes things to a whole new level with cinnamon raisin bread, muenster cheese and apricot preserves.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 slices whole grain raisin bread
  • 16 slices black forest ham
  • 4 slices muenster cheese
  • ¼ cup Bonne Maman apricot preserves + more for serving
  • ½ cup milk

  • ¼ tsp. ground nutmeg
  • Pinch ground cloves
  • Pinch coarse salt
  • 34 Tbsp. salted butter
  • Powdered sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Layer 4 slices of bread with honey ham, muenster and apricot preserves. Place remaining bread slices on top.
