- 4 ounces thinly sliced ham
- 2 large eggs
- 1 large egg white
- 1/2 cup Calorie Countdown 2% Reduced Fat Dairy Beverage
- 1/4 tsp. fresh ground black pepper

Directions
Layer four slices of bread with the cheese and ham. Place remaining bread slices on top.
In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, egg white, Calorie Countdown, pepper, and nutmeg.
Dip sandwiches in the egg mixture, soaking each side for 20 seconds.
Coat a large skillet with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add sandwiches, and cook, turning once, until golden brown on both sides, about 8 to 10 minutes total.
Preparation Tip: Cut sandwiches in half. If desired, dust with powdered sugar and enjoy with jam, the traditional way to serve Monte Cristo sandwiches.
