There is so much to say about this delicious sandwich. But a few warnings:
Don't think this is for the person who is looking for a flavorful, yet healthy Grilled Ham'n cheese. Uh...not in any way is this masquerading as healthy.
Also....well, no I guess that's it. It ain't healthy.
This was created out of a craving for a butterhorn danish. I saw a photo on pinterest of a Croque Monsieur and thought it was on a toasted butterhorn and thought "OMG that is BRILLIANT!!"
Alas, it was on a mere croissant and not the danish I was thinking.
And so I made my own.
A Croque Monsieur is just a fancy Grilled Ham and Cheese sandwich. Sometimes it is served with a Bechamel (white) sauce.
A Monte Cristo is a ham, swiss and turkey sammy dipped in egg batter and fried then served with powdered sugar and jelly.
This sandwich is sort-of a cross between the two.
I bought a package of breakfast danish, heated up the danish and ham on a griddle, then layered ham and baby swiss cheese between the two danish.
Yum!
no wait....YUM!!!
Don't look at the danish calorie count. It will make you cry. Just eat the sammy and enjoy.
