monte cristo folds

monte cristos are delicious. bennigan’s makes a pretty mean one, even though there is no way i could ever eat one by myself. these are my new favorite monte cristo… the portion size is reasonable and the egg wash on top just makes these delicious!

1/4 lb, chopped deli ham
1/4 lb. chopped deli turkey
1/2 c mozzarella cheese, chopped
1/2 c cheddar or american cheese, chopped
8 biscuits (from the fridge tube or frozen leftovers, thawed)
1 egg
1 tbsp milk
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
powdered sugar
raspberry jam

heat oven to 375°.
in a medium bowl, mix ham, turkey and cheese.
separate dough into 8 biscuits. press or roll each to form 6-7″ round.
place 1/3 c ham mixture on one side of each biscuit round. fold dough over filling. press edges to seal with a fork. place on un-greased cookie sheet.
in a small bowl, beat egg, milk, cinnamon and nutmeg. brush over tops of filled biscuits. bake 12-19 minutes or until golden brown. sprinkle with powdered sugar. serve with jam.

enjoy!
