Bennigans Monte Cristo Sandwich

Features:
    Cuisine:

    Not necessarily a "tweak" but some things you can do different. used oven roasted chicken instead of turkey (deli didn't have a good turkey when I went) and a Honey Ham. I also used a Baby swiss on the chicken side of the sandwich and Muenster on the ham side...sooo gooey! I also used a French brioche bread and cut off the crusts. Lastly, after building the sandwich, I pressed lightly, wrapped tightly with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for about 1/2 an hour. Did NOT require toothpicks when dipping and frying. Enjoy!
