    I am an avid Disney World visitor and have never seen a Monty Cristo sandwich advertised anywhere in any of their theme parks but, they are one of my favorite sandwiches. Printing out recipe so I can finally make my own at home... Thank you so very much.

    How do you secure the corners with toothpicks? Do you go straight down through the bread/cheese/meat? Or do you go horizontally some how? I had these in the Blue Bayou restaurant at the original Disneyland, in Anaheim, CA, so I am glad to find a recipe. But I thought they were served with grape jelly?

      Hi Regina, We stuck the toothpicks right through the entire sandwich to hold it all together while frying. We dipped ours in raspberry jam. I'm sure grape jelly is good too. Some say that it is served with blackberry jam in the park. It's all delicious.

      Please! Use raspberry jam. Grape jelly sounds terrible. Of course that might be because I've eaten a lot of monte Cristos and it's always with raspberry jam and lots of it! :) I introduced some church missionaries to this and they started out with just a small amount since they have never put fruit jam on top of such a sandwich. After trying it, they went back to the jar and loaded up. :)

    Any suggestion for how to make this without deep frying? I've only seen this made with Swiss cheese, but provolone sounds nice and melty! Side note: I first had a Monte Cristo in WDW eons ago. Probably early 80s somewhere on Main St that may not exist anymore.

    We are making these tonight as a party. But I'm a little confused about quantities of cheese and meat. The recipe calls for 6 slices, but then the directions indicated we only put 1 slice on the piece of bread. Why does the recipe call for 6 slices of bread and 6 slices of each kind of cheese, and make 3 sandwiches (I do get the bread part;)? (By the way, we are very excited to make these!)

    Ah, yes! A delicious Monte Cristo sandwich on the canal in the Blue Bayou restaurant while the Pirates of the Caribbean drifted by in a boat and the music played their songs. Such a fond memory, and Disneyland wasn't such a crowded zoo in the olden days. I use good old white Wonder bread and my jelly of choice is boysenberry. I agree that the recipe needs only three pieces of each filling for what is three whole sandwiches.
