The Original Monte Cristo Sandwich Recipe

- This amazing simple-to-prepare Monte Cristo is loaded up with ham and gruyere cheese and then battered and fried for the ultimate hot sandwich recipe.
The Monte Cristo sandwich is a classically French sandwich that features ham and cheese with bread that is then battered and fried in a pan. The best way I can explain it is that it’s like a grilled ham and cheese French toast. It is often served with a side of red currant or raspberry jelly and sprinkled with powdered sugar making it a tasty sandwich for either breakfast or lunch.
This easy-to-make Monte Cristo sandwich is perfect using up any leftover ham from the holidays or just as a simple meal served up using sliced deli ham.

Many years ago I was invited to brunch at the Beverly Hills Hotel's Polo Lounge. This was my introduction to the Monte Cristo sandwich. Needless to say, throughout the years I would try it if it was on the menu. Alas, disappointment usually followed. The results of this video is the closest to that fabulous sandwich I have ever seen. Thank you for this recipe. 😊
I'm a chef as well. I love the classic MC Sandwich!
However, I somewhat reinvented the wheel. I make an MC Sandwich with White Cheddar, Granny Smith & Gala Apples, and Applewood Bacon.
In addition, I make fresh Cranberry Sauce to spread on top and a Maple Mustard Spread on bottom.
I call it the Apple Falls Monte Cristo Sandwich.
Your Thoughts???
Maple Mustard Spread? Umm, proportions?
Looks amazing! I'm 38 years old and this is the first time I'm hearing about this lovely sandwich 🥪 😋 😍! Thank you for your recipe, I will be making this soon!
The Monte Cristo is My husband's and My FAVORITE sandwich. I batter mine with pancake batter which turns it into a Frenchtoast-pancake-grilled cheese. So yummy! Thank You for this recipe. Now I have to make Monte Cristos for breakfast!
Can't wait to try . Looks AMAZING !!
You came out right on time with this one, thank you!!
So YUM!! Thank you for your excellent presentation - cannot wait to make it . . . and eat it!
Thanks chef! When my sons want a Monte Christo, I generally get a French country loaf, slice it thickly, and cut a pocket into the side for the fillings. It’s easier to cook. Best!
Looks delicious and easy to make.

Looks great. Thanks for the video.
My favorite Irish pub serves a "Montana Cristo," which adds turkey and substitutes local sourdough bread. I came here to remind myself which meat was traditional in a Monte Cristo. Thanks for a fantastic video.
Will try this recipe, looks so delicious!
Just made it! Oh yum 😋
I will try this. Looks good.
Super sandwich recipe 👍🏻
Thank you, sir. I haven't eaten a Monte Cristo in years, but I remember how delicious they are. Going to follow your recipe soon.
Thanks for watching!
My favorite sandwich - i gotta make this
Looks amazing. Gruyere is the best!
This is looking so tempting. Surely so delicious, flavourful and nicely explained. The cooking and preparation method of the recipe is so nice. the end result is superb. Stay Blessed and stay connected!
I'm a major sandwich fan and been courating a list the last few days since I'm in for a Pullman toast pan on Christmas. Perfect timing :)
The count of monte cristo. Is in my top 5 movies of all time. I googled monte Cristo because I was going to name my Pokémon (Pokémon go) that… and it’s a sandwich…lol
Making 2 now.
I’ve only ever seen this made with ham, turkey, and Swiss cheese from a German restaurant where I lived. I’ve made it that way since I was a teenager. Never with powdered sugar or a jam/jelly. I enjoyed your version using thick sliced homemade bread. Will try that next time. Thanks.
Then you missed the best part!
4:11 Preach On! That is something I more and more understood during my home cooking journey: taste is king; there are no bad or lowly ingredients as long as they're unprocessed; form follows function aka all techniques are valid and have a case in use!
Pie pan... sigh. why didn't I think of this. An old fashioned sandwich griller is great. The 2 sided bbq grill kind. It has long handles and makes turning easy. It also seals the edges.
OMG Chef Billy
I know what's up for dinner tonight!!
Thank you ❤️
Ive only had this sandwich 3 times in my life and it was unbelievable. Made just as you described. Thought I might make one with turkey added to the ham and use cranberry sauce. Really like that grater you use.
Nice Recipe
Divide your egg mixture. Pour half or less onto a plate. Put sandwich in. Pour the rest over the sandwich.
We top it with the powdered sugar and jam but also sour cream.
This is MY FAVORITE SAMMICH!!!
Love this sandwich. I completely get the jam on the side but not the powdered sugar.
Just made for lunch with Swiss cheese, didn't have gruyere, delicious 😋
I'm going to try this using some left over cranberry/orange relish in place of the currant jam
Just watched a video for mini chicken pot pies made in a muffin tin that used biscuits for "pie shell". We have leftover ham from Thanksgiving Dinner and was thinking of combing that recipe with the flavor profile and finishing them up like French Toast. May also add a little Grand Marnier to egg mix. 😋😋😋😍😍😍
I've had it with Supreme sauce on top
I do love a Monte Christo; however, the Croque Monsieur is really my favorite. Yummmm.
Wow !! This is amazing recipe. I like the way to represent this recipe. Awesome quality and easy to make this. I will definitely try. .✅ Wishing you success from #mauryankitchen team ❤️ INDIA
even better when deep fried in batter
Hook it cook it
You can substitute it for cheddar?
Boysen Berry jam is the original.
where is the link for the white bread video?
It pops up I. The top right corner of the video when I say it
@@ChefBillyParisi - Cards aren't visible if you watch UA-cam on a TV. It's best to add links to the description always because these things don't pop up on every device.
👍❤🇵🇰
Uh, turkey is mandatory
That's a french toast grilled ham and cheese. A monte cristo is deep fried. Nice looking sandwich though.
That is incorrect for the original sandwich. That is something that was adopted along the way.
Feel like your ham to cheese ratio is ham heavy. Also think it would benefit from having cheese on both sides of the ham, to serve as gooey-cheesy glue for the sandwich. I like mustard, but I feel like you may have been heavy handed with the dijon. Fry was legit, egg dip legit, taking care of the sides was also a big plus. Usually it is served with strawberry, but raspberry is way more legit, WTG!
I don’t like cheese like that
