Monte Cristo Sandwich

My husband loves Bennigan's Monte Cristo sandwich and was lamenting the fact that we don't have the restaurant locally. We decided to try to make them ourselves. I'd still probably go for Bennigan's any day, but these were pretty tasty and SUPER filling.

Sliced bread
Sliced turkey
Sliced ham
Sliced American cheese
Sliced swiss cheese
Powdered sugar

Raspberry jam

Batter
1 egg
1 -1 1/4 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder

vegetable oil (for deep frying)

1. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan.
   Build a triple-decker sandwich, placing turkey and swiss cheese on one slice of bread and ham and American cheese on another slice of bread.
   Secure with toothpicks.
   In a mixing bowl, add egg and water and beat.
   Add salt, sugar, flour, and baking powder. Beat until smooth.
   Dip sandwich in the batter, covering all surfaces.
   Place into hot oil (make sure the oil is hot enough or the sandwich will soak up too much oil and become soggy) and fry until golden brown. Remove.
   Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve with raspberry jam.
