You need to put your favorite jelly on the inside of each piece of bread. I like strawberry on mine

[@Whoozerdaddy]

That poor child is going to grow up unable to eat unless there is a camera around!! 🤣🤣 For another combination that you wouldn't expect to work, if you have any American peanut butter, try a sandwich combination of, instead of peanut butter and jelly, peanut butter and mayonnaise! I know it sounds weird, but the contrast works, trust me.

[@tammycenter8757]

I have had this made 100 different ways. I am not normally a fan of Orange Marmalade but it's it better with Orange Marmalade instead of mayo. Swiss cheese is definitely best. The best one I ever ate in my life was made with orange marmalade and swiss cheese. It was heavenly and like I said I normally hate orange marmalade.

Mr. H, your look at 3:41 and exactly one minute later had me ROLLING! I say that as one "ham" to another! (You are what you eat! LOL!)

[@AtomicSquirrelHunter]

A few years from now. "Mum, may I go over to Elana's house? Mrs. H is cooking American food again. Oh please, oh please, oh please, can I?"

[@morrigankasa570]

I'm a 31 year old born & raised Minnesotan. I've made Monte Cristo Sandwiches many times at home and I never do the Powdered Sugar & Jelly part. It tastes better to me without that.

[@mtnmagic1998]

If you cut them in halves or quarters before dipping in egg they are much easier to turn.

[@jeffl9167]

I always love how Mr. H. turns into a 7-year-old like me on the first bite. Thanks for making these, guys!

[@ktmerlin775]

Kudos to you for trying to make that at home! I think for pretty much all Americans that's a restaurant food. There used to be this restaurant called bennigans that had the most fluffy, crunchy, sweet monte cristos ever

[@jeffhampton2767]

I make Monte Cristo sandwiches at home. There are many ways to make a Monte Cristo sandwich.

[@katiebeth8343]

Omg!! What a blast from the past. Loved this from Bennigans. So rich and delicious.

[@zoll3ttina]

The Bennigan’s Monte Cristo was … da’ bomb!

[@ddickinson01]

I get it at Cheddars occasionally but it's not nearly as good as Bennigans😢😢

[@TeamCow736]

Yep, that was a perfect Monte Cristo sandwich. I love it with the powder sugar and the raspberry sauce. It brings back great reminders.

[@joeholahan7619]

Tradionally these are deep fried in a restaurant but they look delicious like that! 👍

[@robertbishop1908]

- As a New Englander, I am accustomed to using maple syrup, in place of the powdered sugar, or jam. We consider using a knife and fork, depending on how messy it gets.

[@sybilstomps6872]

This is one of my top 3 sandwiches of all time...I love it with a slightly sweet batter and raspberry preserves.

[@mspfinney]

The restaurant near me serves it with strawberry sauce. Yummy!!!

[@chuckrowland8362]

I remember the first time I had one...I was hooked

[@starman5754]

While I believe the Reuben is the ultimate sandwich overall, the Monte Cristo is also a worthy contender. As others have said, it's mostly a restaurant dish, enjoyed occasionally.

[@shalakabooyaka1480]

I got Cuban, then Turkey and Roast beef, then Monte in my tops

[@8catmom]

Porkroll, egg and cheese is the best!

[@Trapper50cal]

Cubano and Pattymelt are up there for me as well.

[@Fettman89]

For me, the Philly cheese steak, Meatball marinara, or BBQ tri tip sandwich are my contenders.

[@mudageki]

You are correct that the Reuben is the best after the BLT and Club.

[@DaveBrazda-b4f]

Elana is a doll, she adds so much to your videos. You have a great little family, good job, and looking forwards to your next culinary adventure.

[@judyhuurman1237]

I fell in love with a Monte Cristo sandwich when I first had one in the Stardust casino coffee shop in Las Vegas about 50 years ago. It had turkey, ham and bacon and swiss cheese. It was a double decker, battered and deep fried, with powder sugar and strawberry jam. YUM!!!. I don't know if there was Mayo on it but I do know there was NOT mustard.

[@buddystewart2020]

As far as I'm concerned, it's not a Monti Cristo without powdered sugar and raspberry jam. The ones I've had were dipped in the egg wash on the sides too. They may have even used a deep fryer to get all the side of it done. It's an awesome sandwich.

[@morrigankasa570]

I disagree with you there; I've made Monte Cristo's at home many times and I never have the Powdered Sugar & Jelly, it's better without that.

So many great American sandwiches for you guys to try. Reuben , Muffaletta (great) , Italian hero (sub , hoagie , po boy etc) , cheese steak , pastrami on rye , meatball sub , veal parm sub , and on and on.

[@Armyless1]

You have to have it with the powdered sugar and jam. That's what makes it special. You only eat it once or twice a year, but you remember why you love it every time.

Have you had friends over for an all American food dinner? I’d love to see their reactions to some of your favorites! You are very enjoyable to watch!

[@SidewaysTA]

I've had a Monte Cristo sandwich from an old restaurant chain called Bennigan's. They closed down so I haven't had one since but it was delicious. It was made like yours but was deep fried, then sprinkled with powdered sugar and served with raspberry preserves. It was very good and very heavy. When you ate it you didn't feel like doing anything else for the rest of the day.

[@MulletDestructur]

It needs the powdered sugar and raspberry jam! That just makes the sandwich! 🤤🤤🤤

[@squidney672]

as an American i can honestly say i am living vicariously through yall because i have never tried a monte cristo but its a favorite amongst a few of my uncles

[@marciclark8266]

Same here...im dying to try...

[@Mrhandfriends]

You are both more than welcome to Come over and eat with us

[@pddaawwgg]

A restaurant I worked at years ago we made them, but they were deep fried. They are decent.

[@wolfe6220]

​@@pddaawwgg The deep frying is the part that sounds iffy to me, but pan frying I can handle...

[@pddaawwgg]

Yeah agree. It's just the only version I myself have had. I bet pan frying would be much better to be honest@@wolfe6220

[@lindah6954]

What? You never had a grilled cheese sandwich? Now that is an American staple food. Grilled cheese dipped in tomato soup. 2 slices of bread buttered on the back side. 2 slices of American cheese. Mild cheddar if you can't find American. Instead of water, we use milk in the tomato soup. Grilled cheese got its name in a Diner because that's what they call their griddle that can make 10 fried foods at once.

[@ajstrauss55]

This one knows what they're talking about. Never put water in your tomato soup. I like to use different cheeses sometimes but you cant go wrong with a grilled cheese and tomato soup

[@LockupIII]

The best thing an American can have on a cold winter day. It's so simple, so inexpensive, and so delicious.

[@Logotu]

I’m more familiar with the recipe used by famous places like Bennigan’s Tavern or Disney parks, where it’s dipped in something more like a pancake batter than a French toast batter. Then it’s fried in oil (either deep fried, or shallow fried in a skillet). Yes, usually with a bit of powdered sugar, and a little side of jam.

[@lindah6954]

Those are all great. But a quick lunch is like only $2.00 at a Diner. @@Logotu

[@ThePloppy]

I think what she was saying was they don't call it "grilled cheese" in England. The terminology is different. I believe the Brits call it a "toasted cheese" sandwich. Which is the same thing. But, yeah, the tomato soup is an American thing. I've seen other British videos that tried dipping them in tomato soup but they didn't have Campbells, which is essential! I grew up in Northern Illinois and never heard of dipping them in tomato soup until I moved to Arkansas 14 years ago when I was 37. It's a staple here in the south.

[@hughfuller8416]

I use Crisco butter spray. I also use Colby Jack cheese. I use strawberry jam. I don’t use mustard. I also use turkey. I also add vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, and sugar to my egg mixture. Born and raised in Oklahoma. Now I’m living in Colorado.

[@rdramos13]

Restaurant near me also makes it with ham and turkey. Then served with your choice of raspberry jam or honey.

[@FourFish47]

😂 Mrs. H is having one of those days all us girls know about. I love Monte Cristo sandwiches, but I've never seen them made this way, and I've never had them with powdered sugar or jam. Always just turkey, ham, and maybe Swiss (?) Dipped in egg and fried. Only 2 pieces of bread. Those look so good!!! I think you could make shoe leather delicious!! 😋 Elana is so adorable!! ❤

[@xansdad55]

Years ago (the '80's) I used to have these, with the powdered sugar, at the dining room at Marshall Fields in Houston...

[@williamedwards9286]

Had my first Monte Cristo at Disney Land in 82. Best sandwich I ever had. Never had one since.🤔 Don't know why.

[@thecapturban]

Mrs H❤ we are loving ya crazy🎉 ... she has truly been americanized

[@58fcorley]

Hello from Lubbock, TX! We used to have an upscale restaurant called The Depot, which was a renovated train station. They served the best Monte Cristo with the powdered sugar and raspberry jam. Soooooo good!

[@TrulyUnfortunate]

It's the savory and sweet combo that makes it work so well. People say pineapple on pizza is nasty yet they'll put fruit on a pork loin. As far as I'm concerned pork begs for some sweet.

[@jeffhampton2767]

I love Monte Cristo's. There are a few different ways to make them. Most are made with French toast but I have seen them made when they dip the whole entire sandwich in a batter and deep fry it, and then sprinkle on some powdered sugar and cinnamon. I like my Monte Cristo sandwich with sugar and cinnamon sprinkled on top. Another good sandwich is a grilled ham and swiss cheese and bacon on sourdough bread dipped in blue cheese or ranch dressing. Also a hot brown from Kentucky. ❤🇺🇸🙏🏻✌🏻

[@janp719]

And served with raspberry jam.

[@jeffhampton2767]

​@@janp719I know a lot of people do eat it with raspberry jam but believe it or not in my part of the United States no restaurant serve it with raspberry jam. But some serve it with maple syrup

[@rdramos13]

Restaurant near me uses ham and turkey, and served with your choice of raspberry jelly or honey

[@gregwilliams386]

When you're out of mustard.... add a little water to the bottle and shake. You'll get a little more mustard.

[@janp719]

Never had mustard on it. Ham, cheese, turkey, toasted in French toast with powdered sugar and raspberry jam.

[@kriswoods7051]

I know that in Southern California you can usually find this on the menu at coffee shops and breakfast restaurants. This is one of my favorite breakfast items because I'm not a breakfast person, I'm a lunch person and this seems to bridge the gap! Usually, they don't cut the crust and I've never seen mayo or mustard on one, but that doesn't mean you can't do that. That said, they usually sprinkle powdered sugar on top and serve with either maple syrup or raspberry jam - I like the jam the best. I spread it on each bite, dipping can get messy with this dish. I bet it would be good to spread the jam on the bread, instead of mustard/mayo, before when you make it and then have jam on the side too. Yum! I think this is one of those items you can add your own twist on. Yours looks great!

[@ShannonG2016]

I've always had it with Melba sauce which is a blackberry based sauce a little thinner than jam. It's lovely ❤

[@katiebwheeler]

My favorite sandwich ever!!!!!! So fun watching ya'll make it! and yes for sure needs the powder sugar and the jam!!!

[@RiezanC]

Monte Cristos are amazing, i'm so glad you guys used powered sugar and dipped it in jam. Typically the jam dip is much more runny like what you would expect from a dip. But it looked amazing none the less!

[@SnowLady_164]

You should try Cowboy Kent Rollins version, of the Monte Cristo Sandwich. It's the one served at Disney. It's totally AMAZING! Kent has 2.83M subscribers to his channel. He's a real cowboy cook.

[@beckysimeone4882]

I have the original Disney recipe for their Monte Cristo. They gave it to me on a card in 1968 when I raved about how delicious it was. I am often dissapointed in versions found around the USA in restaurants.

[@ajstrauss55]

I remember the first time I had a Monte Cristo. Had to be convinced to order it, but it blew my mind. For me, the mustard and mayo is a bit overboard, letting the ham and cheese shine and clash with the sugar and raspberry. So good

[@krisschobelock4973]

You can also deep fry these in a deep fryer (Fry Daddy)...that's my favorite way!! Then the powdered sugar and jam! YUMMY It is probably my favorite sandwich if made right! Good for you!

[@laurashelby6842]

This is a French toast sandwich to me. Please make Disneyland's Monte Cristo! It is cut into four battered and deep fried, sprinkled with powder sugar and served with jam. You can easily find the recipe online. I do love how the two of you are so open to trying new foods! ; )

[@CKaffeineIVStat]

Disneyland’s grilled cheese monte Cristo is amazing!

[@mtnmagic1998]

This is my favorite sandwich! I first had It in Disney World in the 1970's at the Main Street cafe and and what Disney did was they cut it in quarters and then put it in a batter to coat and then deep fat fried it! With powdered sugar and plum jam. But what they did with the jam Is they made the jam all smooth so it was easier to dunk. It is so good! Anyway that's me from North Carolina. Love y'all!😊

[@heathermcisaac7571]

My son gets the Monte Cristo at Melt Bar and Grilled in the Cleveland, Oh. area. Their food is unreal!!

[@shayloman1912]

I worked in a high end restaurant in Oklahoma City where they made monte Cristo deep fried and served with a drizzle of honey over the top. Deep frying sealed the egg and the sandwich wasn't greasy at all and cooked quicker.

[@Citizenesse8]

I love a really well executed Monte Cristo. There's a chain here called La Madeleine that does a really nice job of getting the ultimate outside crispiness and the soft delicious melty inside. That coupled with a cup of French onion or tomato basil soup is comfort food heaven. By the by, I cannot even with that precious heart snaffling down that Monte Cristo sandwich with that sprig of hair standing straight up. She looks just like her father. Too adorable.

[@bb3152]

The restraunts in Minnesota around me make them this way... Turkey, ham, Swiss and American cheese and mayo between homemade bread dipped in batter, rolled in graham cracker crumbs and deep fried. Served with raspberry sauce. My family has always mixed the raspberry sauce with sour cream.

[@paullawson2830]

Brits have been our brothers and sisters since World War 2 (I'm American, living in Indiana- close to the center of the USA) and I almost automatically love anyone British.. They generally seem like really good people.. not to mention American's and Brits fought Hitler, and well, you can't get any closer than that as two countries!

[@joshuamcfadden427]

I've had the Monti Cristo at a restaurant here in Texas called Cheddars. It was amazing! Powdered sugar and raspberry jam to dip. My experience was a 9. Should check it out if you ever come back to Texas.

[@Sandra-ij9fk]

In WV we have a Cheddars so good 💯

[@Nimbus1701]

Cheddars has an amazing Monte Cristo sandwich. Another restaurant called Jason's Deli also had one in the past, but it has been close to 10 years since I've eaten there, so I don't know if they still serve it. The one I tried was cut in quarters and came with raspberry jam, but they included squeeze packets of grape jelly and maple syrup. I had it in a to-go container as a person from work usually was designated to go pick up food for us working on the unit and bring it back for us.

[@davidmoss2548]

Greetings from Acworth, Georgia. When we made ours on Saturdays and Sundays at the restaurant, we did the eggs, milk and a tad of vanilla. White bread or Texas toast. On one side, strawberry jam.The other side dijon mustard. Ham on the mustard side, turkey on the jam side, two slices of swiss cheese in the middle. Dunk the sandwich. Griddle. Dust with powdered sugar. Don't buy powdered sugar, put white sugar into a blender and give it a long rip. I'd love to fly across the pond and cook American food for the family.

[@happymethehappyone8300]

NEXT:: Making & Trying a classic "Italian Sub" Sandwich which includes several stand out flavors. 👀👅❤️

[@Brykk]

On holidays, i make a breakfast sandwich that is in this light. I make french toast (white bread quickly dipped in beaten egg, on both sides, then butter fried in a skillet). Then you add a cooked ground pork sausage patty (roughly the diameter of a hamburger patty, but not quite as thick), and a one egg omelette (cooked in a 7ish inch pan) folded in half, and then in half again. So you have one piece of french toast, one sausage patty, and a one egg omelette folded twice. Add a slice of velveeta or american cheese and put the other slice of french toast on top. Smash it down, cut it in half or quarters, and dip it in maple syrup (you can put grape or strawberry jelly on it instead, but the maple syrup is the ticket). It will change your life for the better.

[@bethlovcy1276]

The best Monte Cristo I ever had was at a restaurant in Reno in the 70's who deep fried it. I can not remember the name of the place but I still remember it (and I am now 74!). Served with maple syrup and strawberry jam. 😋

I worked kitchen for years. Strawberry jam was almost always included with a Monet Cristo. Some places added the turkey , others didn't.

[@frand9174]

I've had Monte Cristos in Florida and Massachusetts. In both cases, only 2 slices of thick sliced bread were used. Both were batter dipped then deep fried until brown and crispy. The one in Florida was served with a raspberry sauce drizzled over top and was eaten with a fork and knife. In Massachusetts, it was served as a sandwich with raspberry sauce on the side for dipping. Both were excellent. I like Mrs. H.'s version in the skillet.. no batter and easier to cook in butter in a pan on the stove top. Besides, everything tastes better with butter, right? Will definitely give this one a go!

[@TennesseeMelanie]

It has gone from below 0 degrees (F) to 60 degrees in the span of a few days. West Tennessee...the weather has been weird!

[@DiscipleOfLeisure]

The on;y Monte Cristo I've ever had was a double -decker ham/turkey/swiss cheese sandwich cut in halves , dipped in a proper batter (beaten eggs, milk, and flour) then deep fried. The powdered sugar gets sprinkled on right after it's fried so some of it melts into the fried batter from the residual heat and it gets served with a bowl of raspberry jam and some fries. It's sinfully good.

[@NosserJJN2]

Never had one of those! It looks delicious! I think any restaurant that served them would be jealous of the sandwich you made. It looks that good!

[@randykillman6475]

One of my Mom's favorite sandwiches so this sandwich always reminds me of her. the first time I had it was at the blue bayou restaurant in Disneyland. Disney does not add mustard but most folks I know who like the mustard use Dijon. Some folks sub bacon for ham as they prefer. Traditional is ham. It always comes with jam and powdered sugar. For me it is a bit greasy so you need to eat while it is hot As for the weather... it is wintery here in northern California, USA. It has been pretty rainy for the last couple of weeks. Today I see sunshine through the window this afternoon.

[@lisagates9220]

[@John-iv2oz]

If any of you live in the Anaheim California area, you might remember a restaurant called Belisle's? That is where I had my first Monty Christo and they put the raspberry jam inside the sandwich. They also made the sandwich as big as your head too. It was what Claim Jumper restaurants wanted to be when Claim Jumper finally grew up. LOL

[@dianethomas9384]

The restaurant where I used to get Monte Christie always put raspberry jam inside. Wonderful!

[@frances4309]

Foggy! "The fog is so thick you can cut it with a knife" and "The fog is thick as pea soup." are the 2 idioms that would describe it. Then there's the rain... hey, did I make a wrong turn and end up in London? LOL! :) Yours is a little different than mine. We don't use powdered sugar and jam at all, we keep it savory. Yes: regular mustard, turkey, 3rd slice of bread. We also add bacon. We don't use as much butter in the pan. We only use as much as you would need to make "French toast". Glad Little H liked the sandwich and Mom H was able to let her experience the foodie blog portion as well. Who needs powdered sugar when you have the Elana sweetness!? Kudos.

[@virginiapudelko6280]

So, dust it with the icing sugar BUT dip it or put a smear of raspberry jam on each bite. That tang from the mustard and the sweet from the sugar and jam are amazing!

[@yolsa8153]

One of my favorite sandwiches. I go very little powdered sugar, but raspberry jam is a must.

[@gday2119]

I always thought a Monte Cristo was just ham. Didn't know you could make it with ham and turkey. Not a huge fan of ham but I think the combination of the two would be worth trying. Mrs. H has no fear of trying new foods made from scratch. I'll say that much.😅 I will admit I had a little chuckle over the rustic cheese.

[@jerrry6868]

The way they did it in my area of Ohio was instead of an egg wash they actually dipped it in batter (like pancake batter) then deep fried it, sprinkled the powdered sugar and dipped in the raspberry preserves. Please keep up the great videos and God Bless the family.
