Ingredients:

For the Sandwich:
- 4 slices of keto-friendly bread (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 oz sliced ham (sugar-free)
- 4 oz sliced turkey (sugar-free)
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 2 tbsp sugar-free berry jam (optional)
For the Egg Batter:

- 2 tbsp heavy cream
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon (optional)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1 tbsp butter (for frying)
Optional Garnish:
- Powdered erythritol for dusting

Instructions:

Assemble the Sandwiches:
- Spread a thin layer of sugar-free berry jam on two slices of the keto-friendly bread (if using).
- Layer with a slice of Swiss cheese, followed by ham, turkey, and another slice of Swiss cheese.
- Top with the remaining slices of bread to make two sandwiches.
Prepare the Egg Batter:
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, cinnamon (optional), salt, and pepper until well combined.
Dip the Sandwiches:
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the butter.
- Carefully dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, coating both sides.
Cook the Sandwiches:
- Place the dipped sandwiches onto the skillet and cook until golden brown on one side (about 3-4 minutes).
- Flip and cook the other side until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Garnish and Serve:
- For a classic Monte Cristo feel, dust the sandwiches with powdered erythritol before serving.
- Cut the sandwiches in half and serve with sugar-free syrup for dipping.

This Keto Monte Cristo combines the savory layers of ham, turkey, and cheese with the perfect French toast-like crust, making it a delicious and low-carb twist on a brunch classic!
