Monte Cristo is a fried ham and cheese sandwich also called "French sandwich", "Toasted Ham Sandwich", and "French toasted cheese sandwich".
Many recipes out there coat it with whisked eggs and milk mixture then fry them in butter. A bit like french toast. 
But this recipe is a little different. It is coated with batter then deep fried. The batter is not as thick as pancake batter. We want a thinner batter just to coat the sandwich to make it crispy when fried. You do not want a thick coating because we already have the sliced bread.

​The process if very easy. Just make a ham and cheese sandwich. Any choice of ham and type of cheese will be up to you. Cut the sandwich into four and secure with toothpicks to hold the pieces together.

​Quartered sandwiches are then dunked in batter, deep fried then dusted with powdered sugar. It creates a ham and cheese sandwich with a crisp coating with cheese perfectly melt inside. Super easy to make and very delicious. Another snack or breakfast you can serve your family. Give this recipe a try and let me know what you think by leaving a comment below. Enjoy.
