monte cristo

A few of my friends asked where I get my recipes from so I will make sure to give credit as to where I got a recipe from... this is from All You magazine sometime last year.

It won a contest for borden cheese. 

You can follow the link to see the original ingredients and recipe, but this is how I make it. I serve it with raspberry preserves, Mmmmmmm.

4 slices Swiss cheese

1/2 pkg. (1 sheet) frozen puff pastry, thawed

4 (1 ounce) slices smoked turkey

4 (1 ounce) slices smoked ham

egg beaters

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Unfold pastry into 12" square and use a little water to smooth out the fold lines and cut into 4 (6 inch) squares. 

Layer 1 slice turkey, 1 slice ham, 1 slice cheese, 1 slice turkey, and 1 slice ham in center of each square. 

brush edges of squares with egg beaters. (the original recipe calls for a whole egg and water mixed, but egg beaters is 30calories vs. 70-90 calories for 1 egg and it is pasteurized and easier, in my opinion)

Fold squares to form triangles; seal edges. Place on baking sheet and brush with remaining egg mixture. 

Bake 25 minutes or until golden. 

What is your little victory today?
