The classic Monte Cristo is made with thinly sliced ham and Gruyère or Emmentel cheese. The sandwich is then dipped in an egg batter and pan or deep fried. It’s essentially ham and cheese on French toast. Yum!
However, Kendra throws in a wonderful variation. She adds raspberry jam and a particular mustard. You end up with a savory-sweet sandwich that’s delicious! I’ve enjoyed Monte Cristo sandwiches with raspberry dipping sauces. But cooking the jam into the sandwich is so much better!
When I make these at home, I try to resist the temptation of using too much butter for frying the sandwich. You don’t want an overly greasy sandwich.
