Description

An Air Fryer Monte Cristo Sandwich is one of my favorite air fryer sandwiches; my kids went crazy for them at Disneyland. Since they are home these days, I’m always looking for great and easy lunch ideas; I came up with this version, absolutely delicious.

Ingredients

  • 12 slices honey wheat bread
  • 6 slices turkey breast
  • 6 slices Swiss cheese
  • 6 slices sliced ham
  • 4 slices American cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Serve With: Powdered Sugar and Raspberry Preserves

Instructions

  1. Start by assembling the sandwich, add one slice of turkey, Swiss Cheese, Ham, and American cheese to the bottom layer of bread. Add a top slice, and press together.
  2. Break the egg and milk, salt, and nutmeg mix well in one bowl. Spray your air fryer basket with olive oil. Preheat your air fryer to 380 degrees F for 5 minutes. Dip your sandwiches into the batter, and coat, leaving them in about 30 seconds.
  3. Set your sandwiches into the air fryer and set the time for 8 minutes, flipping halfway.

Reheating:

  1. Air Fryer:
    • Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
    • Place the sandwich in the air fryer basket and heat for 3-5 minutes or until warmed through and crispy on the outside.
  2. Oven:
    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Place the sandwich on a baking sheet and warm for about 10 minutes or until heated through.

Note: It’s best to reheat using methods that restore the sandwich’s crispness. Microwaving is not recommended, as it can make the sandwich soggy.

Freezing:

  1. Freezing Prepared Sandwiches:
    • Let the cooked sandwiches cool completely.
    • Wrap each sandwich tightly in aluminum foil or plastic wrap.
    • Place wrapped sandwiches in a zip-top freezer bag, removing as much air as possible.
    • Label the bag with the date and contents. Freeze for up to 1 month.
  2. Reheating from Frozen:
    • You can reheat the sandwich directly from the freezer. Use the air fryer or oven method mentioned above, but extend the reheating time by a few minutes.

By following these storage, freezing, and reheating guidelines, you can enjoy your Air Fryer Monte Cristo Sandwiches at a later time, ensuring they remain as delectable as when first made. Perfect for meal planning or enjoying leftovers!
