Monte Cristo Sandwich
I would like to know how to make a Monte Cristo. It's a ham and cheese sandwich, but with other ingredients that I can't remember.
—Yvonne
Hi Yvonne,
The Monte Cristo sandwich is usually a ham-and-cheese sandwich that is dipped in beaten egg and then cooked in a little oil in a skillet—you can think of it as a ham and cheese sandwich made with savory French toast. I have a recipe that’s quite similar that you can adapt: Check out my Chicken & Cranberry Croque; to make it a Monte Cristo, omit the cranberry sauce and orange zest, and substitute ham for the grilled chicken. But note that the recipe says to bake the sandwiches in a 400F oven. To make it the traditional way, simply fry up the sandwiches in a little vegetable oil (or butter) in a large skillet until golden brown.

I looked on the website and it is not there. Do you still have the Chicken Stroganoff recipe? Where can I find it? Thanks. --KatherineMarch 2012

QuestionI used to have a recipe for Nan's peanut butter cookies made by you, but I can't seem to find it anywhere! I've tried at least a dozen others but they don't compare in taste or the softness of yours. --MicaelaMarch 2012

QuestionI was wondering if you could add the thumbprint cookies recipe to the site. I had it in my recipe box but it seems to have gone missing, the good recipes always do. I made them 2 years ago as Christmas presents for the homeless and would really like to make them for my kids this year. I remember the filling being preserves and they were so good. Thanks so much! --Jamie Hi Betty. I had a box of your recipes that my mother gave me when I married. Unfortunately, I lost one of my favorites: the thumbprint cookies. It was a sugar cookie with preserves in center. Can you please post that one or send it? Thank you. --KristinaMarch 2012
