Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Whisk the cream, milk, egg, sugar and nutmeg together in a bowl until the egg is fully incorporated and there are no clumps of egg white or yolk.

  2. Put the bread in a sealable bag and pour the custard over the bread. Seal the bag, pressing out as much air as possible without smashing the bread. Let the bread soak overnight.

  3. The next day, put your oven rack in the middle position and preheat to 350 degrees F (180 C).

  4. Lay the soaked pieces of bread on a flat surface close together. Put the flour in a fine mesh sieve and dust one side of the bread with an even coating of flour.

You did something that I absolutely love: You linked one of your older gems in a new post! I hadn't discovered this one yet. I really didn't know anything about a Monte Cristo except the name. Wow, that sounds deliciously weird!
We always made French toast when we were kids. My brothers liked to make sandwiches with peanut butter, bacon, and maple syrup. We were left alone a lot!😅

Did you make this recipe?

Thanks for rating!
