Monte Cristo Sandwich
Breakfast, lunch and dinner is served with this Monte Cristo Sandwich! You can’t go wrong with a warm, buttery crust that is melted together to create a classic sandwich in your own oven. We had our first Monte Cristo Sandwich at Disneyworld and our family is hooked! The flavors melt together and warm you with a comfort meal that everyone loves. These sandwiches come together easily and can be baked in the oven using Reynolds Wrap.
I love how easy it is to use. I am always finding new ways to use Reynold’s Wrap aluminum foil and it gives that crisp clean cut for any size that you need! I love the thickness that Reynolds Wrap has and that it is oven safe. Wrapping these Monte Cristo Sandwiches helps keep in the warmth, melts the cheese and leaves the sandwich nice and flaky for the perfect combination! I love how it can keep the sandwiches warm until you are ready to unwrap them. Once you unwrap your warm Monte Cristo Sandwich your family will be thanking you!
With Easter coming soon, this is a great way to have leftover sandwiches with the ham. These make for a quick meal or snack during the day. Easy to hold using the Reynolds Wrap too! You can leave the leftover sandwiches in the fridge and pop them in the oven wrapped in the foil to warm them up. I love how you can store them in the foil and easily warm them back up in the oven!

I was reviewing this recipe: MONTE CRISTO CROISSANT SANDWICH. Where do you get croissants? I can never find a decent size croissant. I know you probably make your own. If so…I would like the recipe. I can’t go to your website without spending a fair amount of time. We have many of your recipes and have had some of them and love them very much.
I saw a message on another website: and the woman said, “Pease help my family is starving”. If I ever come across it again I will be sure to give her your website!
