Monte Cristo Benedict

This was one of the most amazing flavor combinations of all time.  I made this for the morning of Father's Day for Liam and I to share, since I am a single mother.  I even had leftovers for breakfast this morning and it was STILL amazing. I highly recommend this recipe, and it's not nearly as hard as it may appear to be.

Ingredients: (I only made 3 servings, since it was just Liam and I but I will show the servings for 4)
2 Large Eggs
1/4 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
2 Tbsp White Sugar
1 pinch Cayenne Pepper
1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
1 Tbsp Orange Juice
4 slices of bread (thick bread works the best)
1 Tbsp Butter
8 thin slices cooked ham
4 slices Cheddar Cheese
4 slices of a smoked cheese (cheddar, butterkase, etc)
8 poached eggs
A dash of Mediterranean Spiced Sea Salt

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Whisk the eggs, cream, sugar, pepper, cinnamon and orange juice together in a bowl until the batter is thorough combined. 
Lay bread slices into batter one at a time and let the bread absorb the mixture.  Turn bread over and repeat for the other side.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.  Cook the bread in the hot butter until browned (about 2-3 minutes per side).  Transfer the French Toast slices to a baking sheet.  *Feel free to use parchment paper to make for an easy cleanup.
Lay ham slices in the skillet and cook until they begin to brown on the edges (only about 1 minute per side).
Place a cheddar cheese slice on top of each French Toast slice.  Add 2 ham slices to each one as well and top with the smoked cheese.
Bake until the French toast batter has set and the cheese has melted (about 12-15 minutes).
Place sandwiches on a serving plate and top each with 2 poached eggs.  Season with the Mediterranean Spiced Sea Salt. 
Serve & Enjoy!
