3 slices white bread
Mayonnaise, as needed
2 slices Gouda
2 slices turkey
3 large eggs, beaten
1/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Strawberry slices, for garnish
Orange wedges, for garnish
Serving suggestion: Blackberry jam

1
On a work surface, lay out 2 slices of bread and spread with mayonnaise.
2
Top each slice with the 1 slice of Gouda and 1 slice of turkey each.
3
Put the third slice of bread on top of one stack, and flip the remaining stack on top, cheese-side down, to make a triple-decker sandwich.
4
Using a knife, cut the crusts off the sandwich (this helps to pinch and seal the ends).
5
Wrap the sandwich tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 6 hours.
6
(Wrapping the sandwich in plastic wrap, compacts it, and prevents the egg batter from seeping in.)
7
Combine the eggs and milk in a bowl.
8
Heat the oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
9
Unwrap the sandwich and dip it in the egg batter, to coat evenly.
10
Gently place it in the skillet, and fry, turning once, until golden brown and hot, about 5 minutes total.
11
Cut the Monte Cristo in 1/2, transfer it to a place, and garnish with the strawberry and orange.
12
Spoon some jam over each 1/2 and serve immediately.
