Monte Cristo Sandwich

You know what's super delicious? A big fat monte cristo sandwich.

Let's make a monte cristo sandwich

Sandwiches, especially the toasted or grilled kind.  Melty, ooey-gooey cheese of any variety.  

Sweet and salty food mash-ups.  French toast.  Brunch, in general.

I could go on and on naming delicious things, but the one's I've mentioned so far have something very important in common..... Monte Cristo sandwiches! 

If you haven't had a Monte Cristo, it's traditionally made with white bread, Gruyere, ham and Dijon mustard, cooked French toast-style and served with a side of preserves and powdered sugar.

It's sweet and salty HEAVEN, you guys.

A delicious brunch or lunch recipe!

This recipe is just a bit different in that it's made with whole grain cinnamon raisin bread, slices of muenster and fruit preserves stuffed inside the sandwich AND used for dipping.  

It's a Monte Cristo, Julie style.  These sandwiches are definitely something you can serve on Mother's Day, because we all know moms love brunch, cheese, sweet and salty mash-ups, French toast and sandwiches.  

If that's not true, I don't know if I can be friends with your mom.

Just kidding, but did I mention that the entire sandwich is dipped in a clove and nutmeg-infused batter and cooked French toast-style?  

And topped with powdered sugar and dipped in fruit preserves?  

Did you hear that?  I really hope you're as excited about this Monte Cristo Sandwich as I am.

Just trust me - these sandwiches are SO yummy, and mom deserves yummy.
