Flatrock Monte Cristo Sandwich
By Traeger Kitchen
A Monte Cristo sandwich starts life as a simple ham, turkey, and cheese sandwich. Then it gets dipped in a batter of eggs and milk, fried in butter, and dusted with powdered sugar for a French-toast-meets-grilled-cheese explosion of flavor. The combo of sweet, salty, and savory flavors is hard to beat, and the Flatrock griddles it to golden brown perfection.

main
| 4 | large eggs |
| 1 Teaspoon | kosher salt |
| 1/2 Teaspoon | freshly ground black pepper |
| 8 Slices | white bread |
| 4 Tablespoon | mayonnaise |
| 4 Tablespoon | yellow mustard |
| 8 Slices | Swiss cheese |
| 8 Slices | deli ham |
| 8 Slices | deli turkey |
| 4 Tablespoon | unsalted butter |
| Powdered sugar, for serving |
Steps
1
In a wide, shallow bowl, beat the eggs with the milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
2
Spread the mayonnaise over 4 slices of the bread and the mustard over the other 4 slices. Place 1 slice of cheese over each mustard slice, then divide the ham and turkey among the mustard slices. Top with the remaining cheese, then place mayonnaise slice on top to create 4 sandwiches.
3
Preheat 2 adjacent zones of the flat top on medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes.
4
Add the butter to the hot cooktop and use a spatula to coat the entire hot area. One at a time, dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, flip to coat both sides, then place on the hot cooktop. Cook until golden brown on one side, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until the other side is golden brown and the cheese has melted, another 2 to 3 minutes.
5
Transfer the sandwiches to serving plates, dust with powdered sugar, and serve. Enjoy!

Flat Top Stuffed French Toast
Chef JRob describes his sweet brunch dish as a cross between French toast and cheesecake. Yet the cream cheese and blueberry filling could not be easier to make, and the large surface area of the flat top lets you cook all the brioche at once so everyone can eat at the same time.
Flat Top Porcini-Dusted Smashed Burger
We’re taking the classic smashed burger up a notch with porcini powder and a special sauce. The dried mushroom powder, sometimes called dust, gives the meat an even deeper savory flavor. If your supermarket carries dried porcinis but not powder, simply grind the whole dried mushrooms in a spice grinder. Spreading a little mayo on the buns before toasting them makes them nicely browned and crisped.
Flat Top Cinnamon-Sugar Crepe Cake
Diva Q makes this fantastical, many-layered cake for her kids, who request it often for breakfast (and just about any other time of day). Once you try it, you will know why. For best results, let the crepe batter rest for at least a couple of hours but preferably overnight.
Flat Top Spicy Chicken Fajitas
Boneless, skinless chicken thighs are a great choice for cooking on the griddle. As convenient and quick cooking as chicken breast, they have a deeper flavor and are more forgiving so they’re almost guaranteed to stay juicy after cooking. We like the heat the jalapeño ribs provide. If that’s not your thing, cut the seeds ribs out of the slices. Depending on how filled you like your fajitas, you may have extra vegetables; if so, save them to use in omelets or on pizza.
