French Toast Ham and Cheese Sandwiches

This sandwich is a decadent play on the classic Monte Cristo. For this version, instead of simple bread, make a slice of French toast and pile everything on it in an over-the-top style. A Monte Cristo Sandwich is like the best ham and cheese sandwich you will ever have! It’s essentially French Toast sandwiched with ham and cheese, pan-fried in butter until golden and the cheese has melted. Make it for breakfast or brunch – or anytime! Monte Cristos are a ham and cheese sandwich that’s been french-toasted. It’s America’s answer to the French classic French Monsieur!
