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 :D

Great sandwich! I also add sour cream and a berry-type marmalade to top it off.

You forgot the first two steps:

Step 1: Escape from Prison
Step 2: Plot Revenge

Now you can REALLY enjoy your sandwich.

have to go eat now..........

MCs are yummy but you can shortcut the process by just injecting some lard directly into your veins. I have been told by my wife I can only have one on my birthday during a leap year.

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.
