My uncle from Oregon made a breakfast, lemon cucumber, yellow squash, zucchini, onion, sliced all. Bite sized, a little water to cook, when they are almost ready, poached eggs in the middle of boiling Vegies. Add crumbled bacon and cheese,

Man when I’ve been working all day this channel is the best on KZbin for good food ideas

[@shenanigansIRA]

I am sending this message on behalf of my six year old daughter. I hope you have a great day and also you’re the goodest cooker and I Love your dogs because they are fluffy and you’re a sweet boy. From Rowan

[@user-sw4qd2up2s]

BTW: Bennigan's would assemble the sandwich, then tightly wrap in plastic wrap and freeze till the next day. Then they would batter and deep fry. Apparently the reason for this is that they cook better. I'm not entirely sure why (That's a question for Alton Brown) but that's what they did according to many copy cat recipes. They also used stale Texas Toast.

[@Fallenangel69_69]

I can not verbalize how amazingly helpful this channel has been for my mental health

[@Arauge1981]

Kent, I have to say, you've been my favorite addition to my subscriptions over the last couple of years. Your content is so wholesome and I love the outdoors/cast iron aspect. Thank you for all of the wonderful entertainment.

I cannot wait to try out some of your recipes. I found your KZbin channel several months ago and I’ve been faithfully watching every since and now I have my 23 old grandson liking to watch you. You are awesome, funny, caring, and got some great dance moves. I don’t see how Shannon does it without laughing all the time and she has a wonderful laugh. Love the dogs, a great addition to the channel. And I like that chuck wagon. Loving the channel keep up the love. 🙃🙃🙃

[@WelcomeToTheBackLogs]

Brother you are an embodiment of positivity and what one should look up to. When I want to cheer up, I put on some Cowboy Kent. Thank you for being such a role model.

[@peterplantec7911]

Nice work Kent. Your story about Paris sounds like a long yard, but that suggestion to mpremelt the cheese is genius.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Hands down my favorite sandwich. Awesome Kent

Man, I've been craving a Monte Cristo ever since Bennigan's closed back in '08. I'd get one once every month or two for years (granted I was younger and more active so the cals didn't bother me lol). I've come across some recipes from time to time but they just always seemed more involved than they should be. Specialty bread, specialty cheeses, etc. More of a special occasion type recipe I guess you could say over a simple recipe that you could put on a menu and make fairly quick. This is simple and to the point and with what I already have in the cupboard :). Thank you Cowboy Kent and Shannon!

[@jernigan007]

yes sir, that's where i originally had one. anytime i went, that's what i got, and a few beers!

[@elder_exxer7875]

Wow, Bennigan’s is a blast from the past. They made a great Monte Cristo. I’ve ordered them in a lot of greasy spoon diners, but Bennigan’s was always consistent. I miss that place.

[@Ahglock]

My sister worked there when I was in high school so over 30 years ago. The monte cristo is what I got every time the family went to give her a good tip. I love that sandwich.

[@claytoncochran3728]

Loved the MC at Bennigan’s!!! Was my favorite. Tried to get there at least once a month. Always had it with their orange marmalade. (That’s where I fell in love with orange marmalade as well)

[@DeniseKink.]

I always got the Monte Cristo at Bennigan’s too. My favorite sandwich of all time. I recently had one at a local tea room and was so excited they had it on the menu. Theirs wasn’t made the way it should and I was very disappointed. Didn’t even serve it with jam.

[@mikeselltx]

Kent and Shannon, We love you two and the joy and love you bring to cooking each week. Thank you for sharing your stories and for all of the amazing recipes you prepare each week.

[@iamburl2667]

Thank you so much for your time and energy that you set aside for all of us to watch and be notified and we support you all the way, thanks kent and Shannon, love your way, it's the only way, keep cookin

[@ceric6890]

The crunch of that first bite is when I quoted a famous group in saying "Mine!? Mine!?". A co-worker of mine and I like to watch your videos when we take breaks or lunches, thank you for inspiring me to cook like a cowboy.

[@dahlyiadubonnet]

I grew up in Germany and had never heard of a Monte Christo sandwich. When we immigrated, diners were still viable and Monte Christos were available. After trying one, I was hooked. I have a recipe for an oven baked one which is actually pretty nice. It's a shame the good diners are gone for the most part and fast food has taken over. So, I'm glad you and Shannon get your Monte Christo fix much easier these days and leave some for the rest of us. Thank you and hug those doggies for me.

[@johnnytest6232]

Always a pleasure to see u and yours always learning something God bless yall and God bless America and keep our troops in your prayers we appreciate all God bless America 🇺🇸

[@Lickwetcarrion]

Thank you for another wonderful video, your attitude and overrall personality is like sunshine on a rainy day. Every subscriber is definitely earned!

[@pennyblack1970]

Hi Kent and Shan. Your Monte Cristo sandwich looks yummy. Thank you for sharing this recipe. Can't wait to try it. You, Shan, and the pups have a very blessed week. Stay safe and stay well. Love ya.

[@andreatreese8347]

There was a small restaurant we would always visit on our way to Buena Vista, CO, in Salina when we would go on our family vacations (starting from Oklahoma, no less!). It was the First Street Cafe. I would always order the New York Strip Sandwich, but my grandfather and my sister would always, ALWAYS order the Monte Cristo, and they would always put grape jelly all over it. Thank you so much for making me think of my grandfather again; he left us a couple years ago on Christmas Day, but seeing you dance to a Monte Cristo with jam and powdered sugar made me think of him and made me so happy. I have told my entire family about you, and recommended all of your recipes, and my family is the type to definitely use them. Thank you so much for all you do, sir. You are a beacon of peace and happiness in these times that I think everyone desperately needs.

[@CowboyKentRollins]

Thanks Andrea for sharing and i would have loved to have met your father

[@theflowerboye9073]

My hell Kent you are the best

[@heidicook2395]

It's funny that this video was in the newsletter I read today. My cousin and I were just talking about Monte Cristo sandwiched earlier today. I may need to make some, she's never had one. Thanks you so much Kent, Sulhannon, and the pups for all you do.

[@irvinwilbert1268]

The sandwich looks oh so good. I like the new look of the kitchen at the barn and how you have old glory framed up there.

[@rainriderpnw6259]

Thanks Kent ! I've been cook'n like this for my grandson lately and I am becoming his new best bud.

[@ThatBaritoneGuitarGuy]

The Air Force sent me to Red Lion Hotels a few times. Some of them have spectacular restaurants in them; they do. One of them had Monte Cristo on the menu. I ordered it just out of curiosity, and it instantly became my go-to.

[@bobsmith1098]

I watched at least six "Monte Cristo" vids here. THAT is the way it's done. MC is a battered sandwich. I first had one at the Katy Station in Columbia MO. A real treat! Thanks for sharing the RIGHT way. 🙂

[@MsEnglishtea]

I had these when I lived in New Orleans, I moved there from the UK. I had a neighbor who made these for me he owns a restaurant there. They are delightful treats I think it's wonderful for tea time as well.😄 Thank you very much for this video.❤

[@voncille44]

I am such a fan of your dancing Cowboy K! Oh, I love the food as well. 🕺🏿🥪

[@johnryan4769]

I look forward to these so much Yall, thank you for sharing this with us and making this such a wonderful experience!! Grew up living across the street from Disneyland in the 90s so we got these alot

[@chelseahasflowers]

One of my favorites things to do at disney too!

[@user-sw4qd2up2s]

I bet that was cool. I actually briefly worked in Anaheim in the early 2000s. The traffic was HORRENDOUS! Sometimes it took 3 or 4 hours to get home.

[@johnjharrington4457]

Mr Rollins, you have, once again, outdone yourself and sparked my appetite. I really like your shows, Disneyland too, and I can't wait to try your recipe. Thank You for your educational and delicious videos

[@thewaywardwind548]

I watched this episode on a big screen computer and, Mr. Rollins, I looked close and didn't see ANY calories. And, I've been told by people I trust completely that IF some stray calories do manage to slip in, if you chew real hard, you can kill'em. That is probably the best lookin' sandwich I've ever seen. Thank you.

There is nothing better than a farm fresh egg 🍳 that sandwich 🥪 looks so good! I love your videos, I can't wait till you make TWO MILLION Subscribers ! May God bless you and Shannon and the USA!

Hi Lisa

[@marleneliddell8439]

OH, That looks so good and delicious!!!! Thank you so much for sharing. I enjoy watching and learning new things from your videos. I have never heard of this name of sandwich and have never eaten one. I will try your recipe and then maybe make one using coconut flour, keto flour, or almond flour. I may also add fresh kale or spinach with a variety of different cheeses. To replace sugar I may use monk fruit sugar, stevia, honey or no sugar at all using fresh fruit for the topping along with whipped cream and a mint leaf or no topping at all. Love to cook myself and try new recipes. Have a blessed evening, stay healthy and safe 🙏 🙌 ❤ ☮ ✝️ everyone.

Kings drive in/restaurant of the 1960s featured a Monte Crisco sandwich quite similar to this without the meat, only cheese. Excellent, a weekly go to. Sadly, when Kings closed the door, their Monte Crisco disappeared. Wonderful to finally know how to make them. Thank you Kent, for giving it back to me. Always enjoy your show and all you give to us. Congratulations on the 2 million you will soon reach.

This is a nice sandwich but it’s a thin batter. Has to be thin. The sandwich gets raspberry preserves in the sandwich. I’ve also seen this done like a French toast batter. It’s a good video and I love how you love the dogs. Blessings to you both, Jen

I was so happy to see you batter your monte cristo instead of just making french toast. So many restaurants where I live say they have a monte cristo but really its just a sandwich made with french toast which is not the same thing.

My first Monte Cristo was as well at Disneyland eating at the Blue Bayou many many years ago. I still have a 1970’s Disneyland cookbook that has their recipe. And fortunately for us, we are Disneyland passholders so we can still get the whenever we want. Here’s hoping you and Shannon get out here again soon and have one for yourself!
