Found on the Betty Crocker site. The "bread" for these sandwiches actually bakes around the ham, turkey and cheese filling!

This was sooo good! I have been wanting a Monte Cristo since I was diagnosed with celiac disease. So I switched the Bisquick with a gluten free pancake mix. Other than that I made the recipe as is, and it was ready after 20 minutes. I think next time I'll have to use more pancake batter, but it was still yummy!

    What an inventive way to enjoy Monte Cristo at home! When we moved to AZ, I noticed there were no Bennigan's here! I thought my Monte Cristo's were over until I found this. Funny enough in this recipe my husband enjoys the preserves but he won't eat them if they're on the side at a restaurant. BTW this is great for breakfast left-overs if you have some fenicky family members that find it too weird for dinner.

    I've made this for a couple of years. It is wonderful! I do use 3 cups bisquick, 1 cup milk and 2 eggs to help spread it easier. I also use jam not all fruit spread. Delish!

    Although not quite as good as the Monte Cristo sandwiches at a local pub, this does have a great flavor. Hubby ate 3 pieces! I do recommend following the recipe exactly and using all-fruit spread. I used fruit preserves that I had on hand; they were a little watery after baking. This was my mistake, though...no fault of the recipe. We served these with fresh tossed salad and large glasses of milk. Yum! I like a little extra jam to slather on each bite!
