Ive only had this sandwich 3 times in my life and it was unbelievable. Made just as you described. Thought I might make one with turkey added to the ham and use cranberry sauce. Really like that grater you use.
Uh, turkey is mandatory
I don’t like cheese like that
The count of monte cristo. Is in my top 5 movies of all time. I googled monte Cristo because I was going to name my Pokémon (Pokémon go) that… and it’s a sandwich…lol
I've had it with Supreme sauce on top
Pie pan… sigh. why didn't I think of this. An old fashioned sandwich griller is great. The 2 sided bbq grill kind. It has long handles and makes turning easy. It also seals the edges.
"Use a spoon or whisk. Neither of which I have."
Looks great. Thanks for the video.
Feel like your ham to cheese ratio is ham heavy. Also think it would benefit from having cheese on both sides of the ham, to serve as gooey-cheesy glue for the sandwich. I like mustard, but I feel like you may have been heavy handed with the dijon. Fry was legit, egg dip legit, taking care of the sides was also a big plus. Usually it is served with strawberry, but raspberry is way more legit, WTG!
This is MY FAVORITE SAMMICH!!!
Looks amazing! I'm 38 years old and this is the first time I'm hearing about this lovely sandwich 🥪 😋 😍! Thank you for your recipe, I will be making this soon!
I'm a chef as well. I love the classic MC Sandwich!
However, I somewhat reinvented the wheel. I make an MC Sandwich with White Cheddar, Granny Smith & Gala Apples, and Applewood Bacon.
In addition, I make fresh Cranberry Sauce to spread on top and a Maple Mustard Spread on bottom.
I call it the Apple Falls Monte Cristo Sandwich.
Your Thoughts???
Just watched a video for mini chicken pot pies made in a muffin tin that used biscuits for "pie shell". We have leftover ham from Thanksgiving Dinner and was thinking of combing that recipe with the flavor profile and finishing them up like French Toast. May also add a little Grand Marnier to egg mix. 😋😋😋😍😍😍
I will try this. Looks good.
Can't wait to try . Looks AMAZING !!
My favorite Irish pub serves a "Montana Cristo," which adds turkey and substitutes local sourdough bread. I came here to remind myself which meat was traditional in a Monte Cristo. Thanks for a fantastic video.
You can substitute it for cheddar?
Just made it! Oh yum 😋
Many years ago I was invited to brunch at the Beverly Hills Hotel's Polo Lounge. This was my introduction to the Monte Cristo sandwich. Needless to say, throughout the years I would try it if it was on the menu. Alas, disappointment usually followed. The results of this video is the closest to that fabulous sandwich I have ever seen. Thank you for this recipe. 😊
My favorite sandwich – i gotta make this
where is the link for the white bread video?
even better when deep fried in batter
Nice Recipe
Love this sandwich. I completely get the jam on the side but not the powdered sugar.
This is looking so tempting. Surely so delicious, flavourful and nicely explained. The cooking and preparation method of the recipe is so nice. the end result is superb. Stay Blessed and stay connected!
Thanks chef! When my sons want a Monte Christo, I generally get a French country loaf, slice it thickly, and cut a pocket into the side for the fillings. It’s easier to cook. Best!
I’ve only ever seen this made with ham, turkey, and Swiss cheese from a German restaurant where I lived. I’ve made it that way since I was a teenager. Never with powdered sugar or a jam/jelly. I enjoyed your version using thick sliced homemade bread. Will try that next time. Thanks.
Looks delicious and easy to make.
So YUM!! Thank you for your excellent presentation – cannot wait to make it . . . and eat it!
Will try this recipe, looks so delicious!
I do love a Monte Christo; however, the Croque Monsieur is really my favorite. Yummmm.
👍❤🇵🇰
4:11 Preach On! That is something I more and more understood during my home cooking journey: taste is king; there are no bad or lowly ingredients as long as they're unprocessed; form follows function aka all techniques are valid and have a case in use!
The Monte Cristo is My husband's and My FAVORITE sandwich. I batter mine with pancake batter which turns it into a Frenchtoast-pancake-grilled cheese. So yummy! Thank You for this recipe. Now I have to make Monte Cristos for breakfast!
Looks amazing. Gruyere is the best!
