Kicked up Monte Cristos!
By: Charmie777

These sandwiches are To-Die-For!!!! Sweetness from raspberry preserves and powdered sugar, saltiness from gouda, ham and turkey, and a little kick from cayenne! Use any good, thick-sliced bread. Challah or Brioche is great! But plain sliced bread works just fine! This is a must try for any time of day!!! (Midnight is my favorite!) Created for RSC #11.

5 Stars! Oh my word- This was out of this world! I've always wanted to try a monte cristo but would never allow myself. This was the perfect opportunity and it was worth every single calorie. The creamy gouda with the salty ham and then the raspberry to dip- YUM. You have created a winner here!

Made for RSC11 2008. This is my second recipe for a Monte Cristo sandwich. We enjoyed this very much. I loved the rasberry preserves mixed with the ham and turkey. DELISH! DH is not a huge cheese fan and he enjoyed this sandwich as well. We both liked it the 2nd time around using a swiss cheese over the Gouda cheese flavor (personal preference). It is a quick and easy put together lunch or dinner that is not the same old same old. WIll make this again and feel good about serving it to company now that I have the flipping down pat. (ist time I messed up my sandwich ) Thank you.
