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.

Question
I live at 8000+ foot elevation, and have always loved to bake cookies from scratch. Is there "a rule of thumb" for alterations in baking soda, baking powder, yeast, etc., that I need to know in order to bake something else besides a flat, flat cookies, cake or breads? Thank you.
