Monte Cristo Panini

We love to eat breakfast for dinner. Do you too? This Monte Cristo Panini recipe is one of our favorites. Monte Cristo sandwiches are often sought out when exploring breakfast menus. I thought it would be a lot of fun to make my own version in a panini press.

We really enjoy using our panini press, and this was a whole new route to take while using it. I have never done breakfast on the press before. This is a kid friendly meal, and it would be a fun thing to serve if having friends over for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. I hope you’ll try out the recipe and see if you enjoy it just as much as we do. Please leave a comment with your experience with this recipe.

Monte Cristo Panini – Written Instructions

1. Preheat panini press.

2. Stack your sandwiches. Between two pieces of bread, stack your cheese, prosciutto and mayonnaise. I stacked mayonnaise, 1 slice of cheese, prosciutto and then the next slice of cheese.

3. In a shallow bowl, beat milk, butter, and eggs. Dip both sides of each sandwich in the egg mixture and grill in the panini press for about 3 minutes or until it is crisp and golden to your likeness.

4. Cut sandwich in half, dust with powered sugar and serve each sandwich with 1 Tbsp of raspberry jam.
