Monte Christo Sandwich?

[MichRX7]

Man, I just got back from D-land and I must say that the Monte Christo sandwich at the Blue Bayou is to die for...

Does anyone know if any of the restaurants in the MK serve this same sandwich?

And if you get the chance, get a reservation for the Blue Bayou at DL, it's as good as everyone states...

The Columbia Harbor House in Liberty Square at the Magic Kingdom used to have one. When I was a kid, I had to get one every trip. They were so good. I'm not sure if they still serve them there, but if they do, they come highly recommended.

You're welcome. I've never had one, but anything fried is ok by me. :slurp:

Love the Monte Cristos. I am still very sad that they don't sell them anymore at the Columbia Harbour House. I still go there to get the chicken strips though, those are the best chicken strips.

WOW!

What a memeory you just triggered!

Monte Cristo sandwiches wre onthe menu EVERY SINGLE DAY at college. If you didn't like the main course in the dining hall, you knew you could always get a MCS!

The much healthier (if thats even possible!) way to do it is to make it like a grilled cheese sandwich by lightly buttering both sides of the bread and tossing it onto a grillde or frying pan. Flip over when browned to do the other side.

It's a grilled ham and cheese sandwich with turkey! They ARE good though!

Never tried it with jelly and sugar though...:hurl: We preferred mustard or mayo!

:slurp:

Yours sound good, but every recipe I've seen has them dipped in a batter of some sort....definately not low fat or calorie. :wave:

(now I really want to try one. :slurp: )
