Monte Cristo Crepes

A Monte Cristo is one of my favorite sandwiches: ham, turkey and swiss grilled in egg battered bread, sprinkled with powered sugar and served with a side of berry jam. This week I re-created it with a non-carb crepe. The egg-y crepe is the perfect replacement for the bread. Yum!

Crepes:

Beat 6 eggs with 6 ounces of cream cheese, preferably softened in blender until smooth.





Let batter rest while griddle preheats to 350.

Pour 1/3 cup of batter onto the greased griddle and cook until both sides are golden.


Sit them on a plate until you have made 6 crepes.


Heat the turkey and ham lunch meats on the griddle. This doesn't take long.


Remove meat from griddle.

Place 1-2 crepes on the griddle and top with meats and grated Swiss cheese. Top with a second crepe.



Carefully flip them over and heat until cheese is melted.

Place on a plate with a side of berry jam and sprinkle with powered sugar.


Eat with a fork and knife.
