Tasty Eats: Monte Cristo Sandwich

January 9, 2018 Leave a Comment

While baby is still cooking, I love asking my sister for recipes of super tasty things that I know will comfort me! I haven’t had a ton of cravings, but I’m always craving great food. She is an incredible cook and baker, so when she shared this recipe I knew that it would be delectable. Because it’s not just any kind of sandwich…a Monte Cristo Sandwich!

Its buttery…full of delicious ham and cheese and fried to golden perfection!

Make one for yourself! Then put on some comfy loose clothes and enjoy all that fried loveliness!

Monte Cristo Sand-mich

adapted from Hilah Cooking (she’s awesome!)

Ingredients

1 egg

2 Tablespoons of milk

2 slices of firm or even stale bread

2 teaspoons of mayonnaise (or mustard or butter, depending on your preference)

2 slices of Swiss cheese (any cheese you like)

4 slices of ham

1 or 2 tablespoons butter

How To Make It

1 Spread some mayonnaise on each piece of bread.

2 Layer cheese and ham on the mayonnaise side of two pieces of bread: cheese, ham, cheese.

3 Top with the other pieces of bread, mayonnaise side down.

4 Beat the egg with the milk in a bowl until combined.

5 Lightly dip each sandwich in the egg mixture, covering each side, and letting the excess egg drip off. Set aside while the skillet heats.

6 Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat.

7 Put the sandwiches in the hot skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low.

8 Cook for 4 minutes, or until the bottom is browned and the cheese is melted.

9 Flip and cook another 4 minutes.

10 Remove from heat, cut into halves place on a plate and enjoy!

11 To make your sandwich even more wonderful sprinkle some powdered sugar on it and serve with a side of raspberry jam!

Let’s talk about shame... When the Lord started Let’s talk about shame...

When the Lord started walking me through how my approach to correcting behavior started to look more like shaming... it was humbling and convicting. 

Many times my desire to correct overrides any opportunity to understand and walk through the challenge together. 

When I yell, dismiss, or even explode at what they shouldn’t be doing - I communicate shame rather than offering wise counsel. Especially with abstract concepts that deal with the heart like lying, pride, anger...

It hit me most when I yelled at my angry child for lashing out 👀 - as I watched myself I felt the Lord nudge me with how can you correct sin while sinning? 

... oh the embarrassment, but the chance to do better.

Quieting my own self and taking it in, because conviction makes room for growth not shame. 

I’ve asked the Lord more and more to calm my voice with the intent of allowing true change as I parent. Praying my heart is bent more to seeing how God restores and transforms our behaviors to reflect true goodness. Rather than a God who shames as they see me shame them. #christinmotherhood

Everyone then who hears these words of mine and do Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. Matthew 7:24

There’s power in praying our family grows in God’s word and even more as we see ways to apply it daily. I’ve come to realize there’s a spiritual home we’ve been called to build it looks like this family.

In our character, how we reflect Christ, and how we model that for our kids - even invite them to do the same.

I started working on this portrait of us and wanted to symbolize how we’re planted. When times have been their hardest - it’s been God’s word that’s sustained us. #foundationinchrist
