Super Monte Cristo Sandwiches

Sliced sandwich bread
Deli sliced honey or boiled ham
Deli sliced turkey
Deli sliced Swiss cheese
Canned pineapple slices
2 to 3 cups corn flakes, semi-crushed
2 eggs
1 cup milk
Raspberry jam (or favorite flavor)
Vegetable oil
Make the sandwiches by layering the turkey, ham, cheese and pineapple slices (blotted to remove excess moisture ).
Cut the sandwiches diagonally to form triangles. Wrap the sandwiches tightly and semi-freeze them to keep them from falling apart while working with them.
When you are ready to fry the sandwiches, beat the egg and milk into a light mixture.
Dip the sandwiches into the egg mixture, covering all surfaces, then cover in corn flakes. Repeat this process one more time. Put wooden picks into the sandwich halves to secure if necessary. If deep frying the sandwiches, submerge and cook for approximately 1 to 1 1/2 minutes or until the corn flakes are golden brown. Remove and allow to drain.
If pan-frying the sandwiches; follow the recipe above, making sure the oil is hot enough to prevent sticking but not too hot to burn the bottoms. Fry on each side for about 45 seconds or until golden brown. Again drain on paper towels.
Serve with a side of raspberry jam for dipping.
