Baked Monte Cristos

Because these are baked instead of fried, they are ever-so-slightly better for you than the usual Monte Cristo sandwiches.  And I admit it -- I mostly like these for the name.  The Count of Monte Cristo is my second-favorite book.

Baked Monte Cristos

12 Slices Bread
6 slices Ham
6 slices Turkey
6 slices Processed Swiss
3 Eggs -- beaten
3/4  cup Milk
1/4  tsp. Salt
3 cups Rice Krispies -- crushed
2/3 cup Sour cream
1/3 cup Strawberry Jam
Mayonnaise
Mustard

Spread mayo on six slices of bread; top with ham, cheese, and turkey. Spread mustard on remaining bread; place over turkey. In a shallow dish, combine eggs, milk, and salt. Dip each sandwich in egg mix and then in the cereal. Line a cookie sheet with greased tinfoil. Arrange sandwiches on cookie sheet. Bake at 425 degrees for 7 minutes. Turn and bake 5 minutes more. Combine sour cream and jam; serve as a dipping sauce.
