Why aren't Monte Cristo Sandwiches more widely available....

[royalfan5]

This has always puzzled me. We are a nation of fat people, why wouldn't a widespread rollout of these sandwiches not be a hit.

[yermom]

you have to settle for Runzas

[royalfan5]

If they made Runza's out of french toast they would be even better. I'll put that in the suggestion box next time.

[yermom]

i can think of at least 2 places to get one right now in Norman

[Harry Beanbag]

Because they are disgusting? I had one at Bennigan's in 1987.

[sooneron]

Last one for me was Garfield's c. 1986.

[SanJoaquinSooner]

Take a sandwich to next year's state fair. someone will deep fry it for you.

[GottaHavePride]

O'Connell's Monte Cristo should not even be mentioned in the same breath as the crap they call a Monte Cristo at Bennigan's.

[Boomer.....]

I think that Cheddar's makes one.

[Partial Qualifier]

Cheddars's is greasy.. It's like they deep-fried the french toast for too long or something. I had it one time and it was quite the gastro-intestinal outflow facilitator, let me tell you.

NO! Please don't tell me! WAAYY too much information.

[SunnySooner]

I like em, but I can literally feel my butt getting bigger before I even finish the last bite. Haven't had one since college, I don't think. They gotta be about 75,000 calories each. Sigh.

Jesus was the Count of Monte Cristo?

I read that in Highschool. Whoever wrote that was a real dumas.

[Taxman71]

The best Monte Cristo is at the Skirvin Hotel....enough for at least 2 meals.

uh oh....somebody's in trouble now:eek:

[MamaMia]

My daughter loves them so I'll make them for her. I got the recipe when I was a student at OU working at The Mont. One of the other waitresses was French and made the best Monte Cristo's ever. She was very precise in how she made these, but its a great recipe.

You start out by beating some eggs; 2 whites for every yolk. Use French bread; 2 slices for each sandwich. Remove the crust first. After you build the sandwich with thin sliced Gruyere cheese and lean thinly sliced Hormel ham, dip them in the egg mixture and fry them in a medium to hot cast iron skillet with clarified unsalted butter. Its that easy. She served hers with a variety of two or more warmed jellies on the side for dipping. She always had Jalapeno jelly and usually either plum, apple, strawberry or grape, but you can eat the sandwich plain too.

[btk108]

yep...I can hear Sunny's booty growing from her just reading the recipe

[MamaMia]

Smart ***. Although your idea is prolly more efficient since that is where they end up, fo sho. :mad:

And yeah, I read that recipe, and just went up a size. Thanks.:mad: :P ;)
