Delicious! We both loved this recipe!! Because we are always watching our fat intake, we used fat-free ham & turkey & egg substitute & omitted the butter and still ended up with tonnes of flavour! They baked up beautifully & were nice & crispy on the outside. I was skeptical about the raspberry preserves but it was a really nice touch. Great recipe!!

High praise for this delicious sandwich. I used P4's "Brioche" Brioche for the bread, which worked perfectly, and served it sprinkled with powdered sugar and raspberry preserves on the side. I added a bit of dijon to the egg mixture, but other than that, didn't change a thing. Thanks for posting!

Excellent! I love Monte Cristos but generally avoid fried foods so don't get to enjoy them very often. Loved this baked version, much better and tastier than its fried counterpart. I wouldn't change a thing. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

I made this with the American cheese I had in the house. They were great although I did bake them to long on the first side.

This is a delicious sandwich. It makes a filling dinner and I love that it is lower in fat. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful recipe.

Delicious! Love the combination of the saltiness of the ham, tangyness of the mustard, and sweetness of the powdered sugar and raspberry preserves. I have to agree with your husband that the raspberry preserves are what really make this. I used Smuckers Simply Fruit Seedless Red Raspberry Spreadable Fruit and whole wheat bread. I used to order a Monte Cristo (fried) every time I went to Bennigan's, but then they closed. Now I can make a better one at home! Thanks for posting!

This was an awesome sandwich. Used Calabrese bread and used another type of honey mustard as I didn't have the kind stated in the recipe. I also liked the idea of baking rather than frying.

No more frying - this is much healthier! Just add a tossed salad for a quick, easy & tasty dinner. Thanx Rita!
