How to make Monte Cristo sandwich with strawberry sauce
-
Assemble the sandwich
First, spread a moderate amount of strawberry jam onto the edges of the sliced bread, then use a spoon to evenly spread it across the surface of the bread.
Next, place a slice of cheese and a slice of ham on top.
Then, add more strawberry jam onto another slice of bread, and place the jam-covered side down, spread another layer of strawberry jam on top, and add another slice of cheese and ham.
Finally, spread strawberry jam on one side of another slice of bread and stack it on top, and you will have a 3-layer sandwich.
Continue doing this until you run out of ingredients. Press down gently on the sandwich to secure it.
Tip: You can cut off the crusts or leave them on depending on your preference.

Dip in egg and pan-fry the sandwich
Beat the eggs in a bowl. Gradually dip the bread into the eggs to soak it evenly, then roll it in breadcrumbs to fully coat the bread.
Heat a frying pan over medium heat, add a little butter to the pan, and let it melt. Gradually add the sandwich to the pan, pan-fry until one side is golden, then flip to the other side. Fry until the sandwich is golden on all four sides.
Tip: During frying, you can brush a little butter on the bread to prevent it from drying out.
