Valentine’s Monte Cristo Panini

Valentine’s Monte Cristo Panini

Ingredients for 2 servings

1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
¼ cup milk
¼ teaspoon pepper
½ teaspoon salt
2 eggs
4 slices country bread (I used Bread & Cie’s country levain)
confectioner’s sugar
dijon mustard
ham, thinly sliced
raspberry preserves
Swiss cheese, thinly sliced
Directions

Preheat the panini grill to medium heat (350 degrees).

Spread mustard on the bread. Layer 2 of the bread slices with Swiss cheese, ham, and cheese again. Place remaining bread slices on top.

In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Dip each sandwich in the egg mixture, turning to coat well.

Carefully place the sandwich onto the panini grill.  Close the lid and grill for 4-5 minutes until the bread is lightly browned and the cheese is melted.

Dust the top with confectioner’s sugar and, if desired, spoon a little raspberry preserves in the shape of a heart in the center. Another idea is to stencil in a little heart motif with the confectioner’s sugar.
