Monte Cristo Sandwich

1. 1

   Leave the slices of bread out to make them stale or toast slightly.

2. 2

   Assemble the sandwiches with a slice of bread, a slice of turkey, a slice of ham, a slice of cheese, a slice of ham, a slice of turkey, and the other slice of bread.

3. 3

   Secure with toothpicks (or I like to use raw spaghetti, so I don't have to worry about taking them out).

4. 4

   Heat oil (there should be enough to submerge the sandwich).

5. 5

   Make the tempura batter according to the box directions.

6. 6

   (it is VERY important that you use ice cold water, you can even add ice cubes to the batter).

7. 7

   Dip the assembled sandwiches one at a time into the batter and place into the hot oil, turning over and cooking until lightly browned.

8. 8

   Place 2 tsp jelly on each sandwich and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

9. 9

   If you are feeling really adventurous you can make french toast with the bread first and then assemble the sandwiches with it.
