Good recipe! I ended up putting the oven on broil to get it nice and crispy on top. LOVE the ingredients - may just fry in pan next time! -
I just had a Bennigan's Monte Cristo sandwich and this recipe is not it. It is dipped in a tempora batter and deep fried. Dusted with powdered sugar and served with raspberry perserves. Where did this come from? -
Thank you so much for proiding this recipe.

Monte Christo? Not! -
Great sandwich. I didn't have any onion soup mix on hand so I added finely minced sweet onion to the egg and milk mixture. I took the advice of reviewers and fried the sandwiches instead of baking them. I think this recipe would be a good formula for any leftover cooked meat with a slice of cheese added. I think I will try ham and cheese or leftover hamburger pattie and cheddar cheese sometime. Thanks for the recipe Jesse.
