Meal No. 3441: Croque-Inspired Madame Cristo

Last Sunday was National Monte Cristo day but I cannot justify dropping a cheesed sandwich into a big pot of oil to fry, no matter how good I found that to be the one time I actually did it. Instead, I took liberties with the Madame Cristo grilled ham and cheese recipe from Chef John of FoodWishes.com, which has now made quite a few appearances here since I discovered it just under a year ago. Although I had to run out and grab some deli meat (turkey seems to be a suitable partner to the ham), I happily utilized slices of bread from the giant round challah loaf I'd made the day before. These sandwiches were something else, in all the right ways.


Based on "Madame Cristo—Grilled Ham and Cheese," from Chef John Mitzewich of FoodWishes.com and AllRecipes.com. [Updated 03 July 2018]
