I LOVE Monte Cristo's. Ive always made them by taking left-over french toast and making a grilled ham/turkey and cheese with them. Of course this is the quick way of making them.
At the restaurant Bennigan's they serve a Monte Cristo, although it's very VERY different. They make a sandwhich with 3 slices of bread and the normal Monte Cristo filling...but they deep fry the entire sandwhich! I've tried it once and after eating a part of it the whole frying thing started to get to me. After i was done i kinda got that same disgusting feeling that i get when i eat fast food. Although they call it a Monte Cristo I wouldnt classify it as such. It's good if you want to have a heart attack

At disneyland they have these on the menu of the Blue Bayou restaurant. That's the first I've had them and since that's all I ever want when I go back there.
I'm not a big fan of the cheese, but man that jelly just makes it great. Mmmmm. Thanks for the recipe. |

I ordered a Monte Cristo at Rock Bottom and my friend looked at me and laughed. I asked him what was so funny, and he said
"You're going to order that? It's a meat doughnut!" I haven't been able to eat one since.
