Thank u for a warm memory! I took went to Bennigan's for their Monte Cristo sandwich!!!!! When they went out of business, I then drove 3 hours to the next closest Bennigan's to me which was in Wichita, KS. It too went away and I always look for a Monte Cristo on restaurant menus. If they don't have it, a Cuban sandwich is my next closest favorite. But long live the Monte Cristo from Bennigan's.
The first time I had one of these was 1978. My ex wife and I were married about 4 days and we honeymooned at Disney World in Orlando. I ordered this at one of the eateries there. My ex and I have remained friends over the years and I still like this sandwich. I might have to make this soon now.
My first Monte Cristo was at the Disneyland hotel in Anaheim, Ca. in 1978. It must have been a Disney specialty. If you haven't tried the Disney Grilled Cheese sandwich, do yourself a favor and try it. There are YT videos how to make it. Enjoy!
When I went to Benigan's I would almost get the Monte Cristo. I remember they gave you raspberry jam to dip it in. It was awesome. I'm going to have to make this.
Omg Bennigan’s is also where my husband and I started eating them, back when we were dating. I’ve been wanting to make these but couldn’t find the right recipe, I think this one is definitely it! Thank you!
I haven’t had one of these in years ! My brother used to say that it’s French Toast on steroids ! He loved them …… thanks Catherine for sharing this recipe ….. I will make these soon !
What a unique sandwich with sweet and savory components. Looks good, especially served up with jam. I’ve switched from using canola oil to avocado oil. It’s healthier while still being a ‘flavorless oil’ for this type of use. Thank you for sharing!
I've only seen and had the french toast version whether homemade or from a restaurant. Made some last night for supper. It's way easier. Just make enough french toast to make however many sandwiches you want. Cook the first side, flip, then add your cheese to your top and bottom slices to melt while the other side of the bread cooks, then add your meat to the bottom slice. Place your top slice with the cheese melted on top and dome the sandwiches to warm up the meat. I use an electric griddle and keep it at 300° to cook low and slow so the cheese can melt and the meat can warm thru without burning the french toast. I'm sure the battered and deep fried version is awesome, but if you don't feel like messing with deep frying the french toast version is an alternative.
The best monte Cristo I had was 30 +years and it was amazing. The restaurant is closed now soooooo good yummy. Thank you for sharing Catherine have a blessed day stay safe and healthy. 🙏❤🙏❤🙏😋😋😋
Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you~ I will never forget my first one ! My husband took me to a Bennigan's. It was thee most amazing sandwich of my life. I cannot wait to make this!!!

Never seen them made this way in Ontario we just dip the bread in egg mixture like a French toast . We also use maple syrup for dipping not jam but yours look awesome and will try
I used to order the Monte Cristo at an Irish pub called the Boston Beanery. It was basically the same ingredients but no powdered sugar or jelly and the sandwich also had tomato on it.
Hello from KY love you and your channel and your family ❤️.Looks so good. In KY we had peaches on it or you could put peach preserves,then the turkey,ham,cheese,mayo,white bread,deep fried.If you make them again try this.Thanks for all your good recipes.have a great week.
Definitely brings me back to Bennigans restaurant back in the 80's !! I believe that theirs was served with raspberry jam.There is a Bennigans off the expressway near me. It's inside a Holiday Inn. I don't know if they still serve that sandwich 🤔
Good morning That sandwich is beyond delicious I love all your recipes they're quick and simple to make. They are absolutely delicious tonight we're making the Taco Mac and Cheese for the fifth time.
Early 2000’s we had a Bennigans restaurant in glen burnie Maryland. I ordered the Monte Cristo and it was huge! I’m excited to try this myself at home.
I know that this comment is not for this recipe. But l had to say that I tried your crockpot Swiss steak. This is so delicious and tender. My husband could not wait to eat! Thank you.
Catherine, my grandma used to make a nut and raisin cake. She would make her icing it was so runny that she would have to put toothpicks between the layers. It was so good.
The first time I had this sandwich was in a small family restaurant in a mall in Libertyville, Illinois. My goodness. It was french fried to perfection! Unbelievable!

Bennigans was where I ate my first monte cristo. Wish they were still around.
Me too. Bennigans left Texas. Used to be my favorite thing to order
I’m in West Virginia, and we had Bennigans too. I always got the Monte Cristo sandwich too!! Yum!!
Me too with Raspberry Jam...so good.
@@denisedarrell6828 I made it one time. It was really good, just a bit messy dipping it in the batter to fry
My first Monte Cristo sandwich was at Bennigans in Birmingham Alabama. Good times!

This sandwich look’s really good-I should share my recipe for a Ruben sandwich with you
I’ve never eaten a Monte Cristo sandwich😵 But I remember Bennigan’s😁 I love a good Reuben sandwich if the corned beef is lean🥰
Do you want the batter pancake consistency or more waffle consistency? Thank you for sharing! I’m gonna make this for mom for Valentine’s Day ❤❤❤
I guess it was more like pancake consistency.
Love these sandwiches, and so happy to get this recipe. You don’t see them on menus very often, and they are sooooo good!♥️
I guess I've never had a Monte Cristo sandwich. Had no idea it was battered! But it looks delicious! 👌
I would use raspberry preserves
I can't I'm allergic to raspberries, so I used strawberry.
Oh my gosh... the first monte Cristo I ever had was at a Bennigans.
Oh My HUNGRY TUMMY!!!!
I haven’t had a better Monte Christo any where that even came close. Bennigans was the best.
Goodness, I forgot bennigan's existed
