Grilled Ham and Cheese meets French toast- the flavors were great! I did not care for the mustard, but that is left off easily enough. I grilled the bread first with a spray of butter flavored non-stick spray and used ff American cheese and lf Cheddar with thin sliced ham. I also used lite bread and halved the recipe. Very tasty!

    This is so good! I love Monte Cristo sandwiches but did not like the fat so this is a wonderful replica and without all the fat. It really is delicious and you DO NOT miss any of the fat. I have made this several times just to make sure it wasn't a fluke in my cooking and ya know what it is awesome, quick, and flavorful. I ave used gruyere, provolone, and mozzerella and they are all good. I do add a tsp. of vanilla to address some fo the sweetness. YUMMY

    i don't think this tastes much like the traditional monte cristo sandwich- but good lordy, it is GOOD! i am actually eating it as i'm typing this review. i like to have sandwich stuff around the house because they're so easy, but i'm so sick of the regular old turkey sandwich. this is a nice, simple alternative to the same old same old! thanks so much for posting.
