Learn how to make delicious Monte Cristo Roll-Ups. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Let’s gather everything you need to whip up these scrumptious roll-ups!

  • 8 slices of white or wheat sandwich bread, crusts removed
  • 4 slices of Swiss cheese, cut in half
  • 4 slices of deli ham
  • 4 slices of deli turkey
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting
  • Raspberry or strawberry jam, for serving

Feel free to substitute with your favorite type of cheese or bread. If you’re feeling adventurous, try a tangy mustard for a bit of zing!

Instructions

  1. Start by flattening each slice of bread with a rolling pin until thin. This helps with rolling and creates a nice texture.
  2. Lay a half slice of Swiss cheese, a slice of ham, and a slice of turkey on each piece of bread.
  3. Tightly roll each bread slice, encasing the fillings. Secure with a toothpick if needed.
  4. In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk. This is reminiscent of the French toast batter my abuela would make on Sunday mornings.
  5. Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, ensuring all sides are coated.
  6. Place the roll-ups seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  7. Transfer to a plate and lightly dust with powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness that complements the savory fillings.
