This is so nasty do not make it mayo and Dijon mustard do not belong on it
DISNEYLAND!!!
Always wondered what a monte Cristo sandwich consisted of.
Looks simple and delicious 😋
You're a chef huh? This is not the original MC sandwich as created by Bennigan's Restaurant. It's Ham & turkey. and mayo isn' t usually added. Plus 2 cheeses are required. Swiss and American.
The Monte Cristo contains Ham AND Turkey…
Overkill. Not fun to eat.certainly not in a restaurant with people around.
You are missing the turkey
The first time I had one of these I thought it was the most unusual thing, especially with the powdered sugar, but I'd go for another one!
no ham no turkey for me . just cheese and fake meat
A trick. when the cheese is almost done, cover with foil.
I’d love to see you do a Bennigan version of a Montecristo
The first time I tried it it was served with real maple syrup this is my favorite way.
Hook it cook it
Divide your egg mixture. Pour half or less onto a plate. Put sandwich in. Pour the rest over the sandwich.
Making 2 now.
Thank you, sir. I haven't eaten a Monte Cristo in years, but I remember how delicious they are. Going to follow your recipe soon.
Boysen Berry jam is the original.
We top it with the powdered sugar and jam but also sour cream.
Just made for lunch with Swiss cheese, didn't have gruyere, delicious 😋
That's a french toast grilled ham and cheese. A monte cristo is deep fried. Nice looking sandwich though.
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. 😊
