Essential Ingredients- 6 slices of bread (thicker bread yields a more satisfying sandwich)
- Strawberry jam (other jams can be used according to preference)
- Mayonnaise (adds a subtle richness and enhances crispiness)
- 4 slices of ham
- 2 slices of Emmental cheese (Seoul Milk Emmental cheese recommended)
- 2 slices of Gouda cheese (Seoul Milk Gouda cheese recommended)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the egg wash for the sandwich filling. Crack 2 large eggs into a bowl and add 1/3 cup of milk. Whisk gently with a fork until well combined and smooth, ensuring there are no lumps.
Step 2
Now, let’s assemble the sandwich. Spread a generous layer of strawberry jam on 2 slices of bread. On another slice of bread, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise. This combination adds sweetness and a pleasant tang.
Step 3
On top of the jam-spread bread, layer 2 slices of ham, followed by 2 slices of Emmental cheese. The cheese will melt beautifully, harmonizing with the ham for an exquisite taste.
Step 4
Place the bread slice with mayonnaise on top, with the mayo side facing down, covering the ham and cheese. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the top surface of this bread slice. This mayo layer will help create a wonderfully crispy crust when grilled.
Step 5
Layer 2 slices of Gouda cheese on top of the mayonnaise-spread bread. Finally, top it with the remaining bread slice spread with strawberry jam to complete the sandwich. The layers of ham and two types of cheese promise a rich and complex flavor.
Step 6
Carefully dip the assembled sandwich into the prepared egg wash, ensuring both sides are thoroughly coated. Let the bread soak up the egg mixture evenly on all sides. This step ensures a moist and tender interior.
Step 7
Finally, heat a skillet over medium-low heat and add about 1 tablespoon of butter or cooking oil. Place the egg-washed sandwich in the skillet. Grill for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until the sandwich turns a beautiful golden brown and the cheese inside is melted and gooey. Serve your Montecristo sandwich immediately while it’s warm for the best experience!
