Season 4, Episode 17: Monte Cristo Hybrid Vegetarian and Meat Breakfast Casserole. Make one dish work for two diets with this super easy recipe! You will have happy vegetarians and happy meat eaters with this one! And get it all done in just one dish!

This is a simple one to keep the meat separated from the non-meat section, meaning there's very little chance of the dreaded meat drift! The sandiwch meat stays put very nicely and there's very little change of any of the meat moving to the meatless portion. I do this dish as a 2/3 meat and 1/3 meatless plan.

Ingredients:

• 12 slices white bread (cottage bread or brioche)
• 8 oz deli ham slices
• 8 oz deli turkey slice
• 8 oz Swiss cheese, deli cut slices
• 3 slices Provolone deli cut slices
• 3/4 cup shredded cheddar jack cheese (or all cheddar cheese, or Mexican Style blend with Monterery Jack, medium cheddar, Queso Quesadilla cheese, and Asadero cheese)
• 6 eggs
• 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
• 2 Tbsp melted butter
• 1/2 Tbsp coconut oil
• powdered sugar
• raspberry jam

Instructions: NOTE: Prepare dish and let it sit for 1/2 hour or up to overnight before baking.

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease the 9x13 inch glass baking dish with coconut oil.
2. Layer 6 slices of bread, overlapping.
3. Add half of the meats and the Swiss cheese (I do a slice over each bread).
4. Repeat layers.
5. Sprinkle shredded cheese across, sprinkling heavier on the meatless 1/3 of the dish.
6. Lay two slices Provolone cheese on the two slices of bread in the meatless section, and break up the last piece in fourths and place on each of the four slices of bread in the meat section.
7. Drizzle melted butter all across.
8. Wisk together the eggs, milk, mustardd, and seasonings. Wish well.
9. Pour over the dish, attempting to get all the crusts wet.
10. Spray tin foil with cooking spray and press it down over the dish.
11. Bake covered for 30 minutes.
12. Remove foil.
13. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and starting to brown.
14. Dust with powdered sugar and spread raspberry jam across.
15. Cut into six portions and serve! And enjoy!

We like to have potatoes on the side, such as frozen seasoned Potatoes O'brien or hashbrowns.
