Monte Cristo is in the top of my list when it comes to sandwiches. It is basically fried ham and turkey sandwich with cheese. You can consider it as a crossover between French toast and grilled cheese sandwiches. It is usually topped with caster sugar and served with jam.
How to Make Monte Cristo
It is easy to make this in the comfort of your own homes. I usually use two kinds of spreads. The first is yellow mustard, and the second and equally important is the Lady’s Choice Ham Spread. It helps make my sandwich rich, creamy, and tasty.
Simply spread mustard and ham spread on one side of each bread slice. You can be as generous as you want in terms of the amount. Cheese is also a must for this sandwich. You can use any type of cheese that you prefer. I used the Swiss variety. Top 2 slices of cheese over the bread slice and arrange the proteins over the cheese.
It will be great to have more than one protein on your Monte Cristo. Ham is the most common, and adding turkey or sliced chicken makes a huge difference for the better. You can also be as generous as you want with the amount of protein.
Since the cheese helps the bread slices to stick to the other contents of the sandwich, it is a must to lay another set over the proteins. Finish by topping with the other bread slice.
Now, let’s start cooking. This is pretty much the same as making French toast. Dip one side of the sandwich in beaten egg for 40 second. Do the same thing on the other side. Melt butter in a pan and cook each side of the sandwich until golden brown.
