I love a good Monte Cristo sandwich, but it’s not something I eat very often because it’s fried. However, my husband owns a pressed sandwich food truck and he offered to make me a grilled version (at home!) that’s just as tasty (without all the grease!)
Grilled Monte Cristo Sandwich Recipe
I was surprised by just how simple it was to make this grilled Monte Cristo sandwich recipe — we have a small kitchen sandwich press, but you could just as easily use a skillet or flat pan on the stove too.
Here’s what you need for this yummy Grilled Monte Cristo Sandwich recipe:
- 4-5 slices Oscar Mayer Selects Natural Applewood Smoked Ham
- 4-5 slices Oscar Mayer Selects Natural Applewood Smoked Turkey Breast
- 2 slices Swiss cheese
- 2 slices sweet Hawaiian bread
- 1 TB Dijon mustard
- 1 TB raspberry jam
(Amounts are for one sandwich/one serving)
STEP ONE: Spread Dijon mustard to coat each slice of bread.
STEP TWO: Layer 4-5 slices of Oscar Mayer Selects Natural Applewood Smoked Ham on bottom slice of bread. We chose Oscar Mayer Selects because they have no artificial ingredients or sketchy by-products, so all you can taste is quality lunch meat that is worthy of being a part of such an amazing Monte Cristo sandwich!
STEP THREE: Add 4-5 slices of Oscar Mayer Selects Natural Applewood Smoked Turkey Breast. Spread on about a tablespoon of raspberry jam and cover with 2 slices Swiss cheese.
STEP FOUR: Put sandwich together and grill on a lightly buttered sandwich press or skillet/flat plate until outside of bread turns a gorgeous golden brown.
Serve with a side of raspberry jam for dipping and enjoy your amazing Grilled Monte Cristo Sandwich! (You might just like it better than the fried version!)
In addition the the Applewood Smoked Ham & Applewood Smoked Roasted Turkey we used in this recipe, Oscar Mayer Selects Natural is available in Slow Roasted Turkey, Rotisserie Seasoned Chicken, Slow Roasted Roast Beef. I’m itching to try the Slow Roasted Roast Beef — I looove a roast beef sandwich with spicy horseradish!
