great recipe! my husband loves and misses the monte cristo he used to order at bennigans and was so excited when he saw i was making this. he said it tasted JUST like the original...maybe even better because i made it. ; ) next time i will double the meat and cheese just to making it more filling. other than that it was amazing!! i don't have a deep fryer so i just cooked it in vegetable oil on the stove top. i used about an inch or so of oil and turned it every couple seconds. yummmmmmmy!!!

all messiness aside... this is the best! I have four young picky eaters with lots of picky eating friends. It's always a hit! We don't care for swiss, we use jack. I've tried monte cristos at resturants that don't come close to this. Again this is messy, but worth the clean up!!

this is exactly what i was looking for!!! reminds me of a sandwich from my fav deli in california. this one is quite a treat....you will impress. very tasty, easy and pretty. side note...i found the toothpicks were not necessary especially after cutting the crusts off. the insides stayed intact just fine.

I, too, did not want to deep fry, so I cooked in a skillet with a little bit of butter and it turned out wonderfully

This is what I was craving....a Monte Cristo that tasted like the Bennigan's version. You really do have to watch your frying tempeture and time though. I used King's Hawiiaan Bread for this and they were delicious.

I made this for breakfast today. These were delicious. I followed the recipe except for the deep fry part. I skillet fried them and I am sure they were just as delicious. We used maple syrup as a dipping, too. A winner in my house.

Yes. That is pretty much the one you get at Bennigans. Excellent. I used a deep fryer and followed the recipe. This is a deep fryed sandwich severed with jelly and powdered sugar. It is going to be high in calories. Its a once a year food but really great.

I love this sandwich, I lived in Florida where places had this on the menu- now im in Nashville and cannot find it anywhere. This was as close to the real recipe that ive made. I always use 3 slices of bread like a club sandwich to keep the meat and cheese seperate. Dip it in rasberry preserves. I would eat this every day if it wasnt so bad for you.

I had never eaten a Monte Cristo Sandwich. I had seen them on the menu in restaurants but, I was afraid to order one in case it was a bust. When I saw this recipe I had to try it. My son & oldest grandangel were here and they said it was a great Monte Cristo. I did not cut the sandwiches until they were cooked and ready to serve. I fried them in my cast iron skillet with about 1 to 1 1/2" of oil. I sprinkled with powdered sugar and served with jam. They were truly great!! I have made them several times since and always make extra for the next day. We think they are better the next day heated in the microwave for a few seconds. Tried making with graham cracker crumbs as one reviewer suggested. It did not work well at all. Will only make the Real One from now on. Followed the directions and it made 4 sandwiches nicely with a little mix left over that I poured in the hot oil to make a funnel cake. THANKS FOR THE GREAT RECIPE!!!

This sandwich is to die for! I loved it made exactly like the recipe said. However, it is so versatile and can be made with whatever you have on hand. Any kind of bread, meat, and cheese. And, since we are on a tight budget, it was a nice, inexpensive meal. Thanks!
