I was craving a Monte Cristo sandwich the other day, so my daughter and I did some experimenting; now this is one of our favorite things to eat....

2 oz cream cheese
2 tsp. sf/lc raspberry jelly
1 oz ham
2 eggs
1 Tbs. heavy cream

Melt 1 oz cream cheese; beat into the eggs along with heavy cream. Poor into fry pan (you are making an omelet) let cook till egg is just about done. Put ham on 1/2 of the egg let finish cooking. While that is finishing, melt the last 1 oz cream cheese and 2 tsp. jelly together in micro, mix and spread over the ham. Fold the egg over, and enjoy!!

This killed my Monte Cristo craving for sure ;)

You can also melt some Swiss cheese on top of the ham if you like; it goes very well with this.

Tried this today and it was delicious. I was a bit dubious about the cream cheese and jam (jelly) but it was really tasty. Thanks for posting.

Oh God this is good! I wolfed it down and called a friend, shrieking about how happy I am to be back on Atkins! I get to eat stuff like this and STILL lose weight! If you loved Montecristo sandwiches, you MUST try this!
