Caramelized Monte Cristo Recipe With Fried Egg

French toast and ham together in one sandwich can only be made better by a fried egg! The result is sweet, savory, and creamy all at the same time. Rather than deep-frying, as is often done with the Monte Cristo, I prefer pan-frying in butter to get really nice caramelization on the bread. Note that the sandwich needs to chill for at least an hour before you batter and fry it, or you can make it a day ahead and refrigerate it overnight.
