The reason I call this a "College Style" Monte Cristo is because it an easy way to make a Monte Cristo and can make several times by buying ingredients once. That's what college students like to hear. Another good thing about this meal is that its good at any sitting. Since it is dipped in eggs and then fried, it almost has a french toast flavor, therefore it taste great during breakfast time. I used deli ham, because college, but this recipe would have tasted so much better with baked ham. So after the holidays, if you have leftover ham, keep this recipe in mind.
Ingredients
2 eggs
Salt and pepper
4 slices of white bread
2 tbsp mustard (I prefer Dijon)
2 tbsp mayonnaise
1/2 lb thick sliced baked ham
1/2 ounce, weight shredded gruyere cheese*

Powder sugar (optional)
Honey (optional)
Preserves (optional)
Salt and pepper

2 tbsp mustard (I prefer Dijon)
2 tbsp mayonnaise
1/2 lb thick sliced baked ham
1/2 ounce, weight shredded gruyere cheese*
2 tbsp butter
Powder sugar (optional)
Honey (optional)
Preserves (optional)

Suggestions: This makes two sandwiches, so split the recipe if just making for 1.
*I can never find gruyere cheese, so I typically buy swiss instead.
