I also like Monte Cristos. Monte Cristo sandwich - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia There's a diner around here that serves all sorts of awesome breakfast foods and they have a dynamite Monte Cristo....must have one this week.

It also reminded me of croque monsieur sambos. When I was in Paris, I ate more of those than I could count in French!

wiki ref: According to food historian Linda Stradley, the Monte Cristo is a variation of the French croque-monsieur.

A croque-monsieur is a hot ham and cheese (typically emmental or gruyère) grilled sandwich. It originated in France as a fast-food snack served in cafés and bars.
