MONTE CRISTO SANDWICH 
6 slices white bread
3 slices ham, cooked
3 slices Muenster cheese
3 slices turkey, cooked
Vegetable oil
2/3 c. flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 egg, separated
2/3 c. water
Raspberry jam

On 3 slices of bread, layer ham, cheese and turkey slices in that order. Top with remaining bread. Cut sandwiches in fourths (corner to corner). Skewer each fourth with toothpicks to hold together. Pour oil into a deep saucepan or deep fat fryer to a depth of 4 inches. Heat to 375 degrees. Combine the flour and baking powder and mix well. Beat egg yolk in small bowl; stir in water and add to flour mixture. Mix to make a smooth batter. Beat egg white until it forms stiff peaks; fold evenly into batter. Dip a fourth of sandwich in batter to coat well. Place in hot oil and turn immediately. Fry, turning a few times, until puffy and golden brown on both sides. Repeat with remaining fourths, but don't fry more than 3 at a time. As they finish cooking, remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Serve with raspberry jam for dipping. Serves 4.
