Monte Cristo Sandwich Variation

Thick-Sliced sandwich bread (Hawaian Egg Bread, if you can get it, or potato bread, if you can't)
Deli sliced honey ham or boiled ham
Deli sliced turkey
Deli sliced Swiss cheese
pineapple slices (Canned)
2 to 3 cups seasoned bread crumbs
2 eggs
1 cup milk
Blackberry Jam (or favorite flavor) at table
Vegetable oil

Make the sandwiches by layering the turkey, ham, cheese and pineapple slices (blotted well to remove excess moisture).
Cut the sandwiches diagonally to form triangles. Wrap the sandwiches tightly and semi-freeze them to keep them from falling apart while working with them.
When you are ready to fry the sandwiches, beat the egg and milk into a light mixture.
Dip the sandwiches into the egg mixture, covering all surfaces, then cover in bread crumbs.
Repeat this process one more time. Put wooden picks into the sandwich halves to secure if necessary.
If deep frying the sandwiches, submerge and cook for approximately 1 to 1 1/2 minutes at 350 degrees or until the
bread crumbs are golden brown. Remove and allow to drain.
If pan-frying the sandwiches; follow the recipe above, making sure the oil is hot enough to prevent sticking but not too hot to burn the bottoms. Fry on each side for about 45 seconds or until golden brown. Again drain on paper towels. Serve with a side of jam for dipping.
