“I love you, Lord, my strength. . .” Psalm 18:1

Monte Cristo’s are a frequent sandwich you see in pubs and cafes around the world. Puff Monte Cristos are a much easier way to prepare this delicious sandwich.

This is a sandwich my husband commonly orders when he sees it on the menu.  It is typically fried and topped with powdered sugar and served with raspberry preserves.  Think of it as a “french toast sandwich”.  

What makes Puff Monte Cristos special?

 1.  It’s so easy.

2. It’s baked. It only takes a few minutes to prepare and in minutes you have a yummy lunch or even fix them as an appetizer.  You don’t have to dip your sandwich in a custard, frying it in a skillet, so not so much mess.  You do everything on one pan so I guess you can consider it a one pan meal.  🙂

I think you and your family will be pleasantly surprised how good Puff Monte Cristos will be.

Mama Fawn’s Tips. . . 

• Make sure the puff pastry is thawed completely.  This will make it easy to roll out
• If you want a thicker sandwich, feel free to add more meat and/or cheese.
• Make sure you press the puff pastry together so you don’t have any of the cheese melts out.
• Microwave the extra raspberry preserves for about 30 seconds for easy dipping. 
• To make it as an appetizer, cut the sandwiches into smaller slices.
• If you are not fond of turkey and ham, then use just one of the meats.  It will still be so yummy.
