Hi, welcome to Gma and Gpa Adventures Disney cooking!
So today we're going to
make a sandwich that is famous at Disneyland in California. They serve it
at the Blue Bayou, and it's called the Monte Cristo.
So let's see what it takes
to make this sandwich.
One egg, two slices of bread, about three slices of very
thinly sliced ham, three slices of turkey, and two slices of Swiss cheese.
A little bit of mayo and then this is for the dressing at the end because you can dip
it in a jam and we're gonna dress it up with the powdered sugar.
So that's blackberry; you can use raspberry, blackberry, grape, whatever is
your preference.
So the first thing we're gonna do is take the egg and beat it.
Okay, now we're gonna take the sandwich, and we're going to put one piece in it on this side.
This is the side that's gonna go down into the butter. And use a nice
thick bread. Like it says you could use either brioche or something similar.
Or very thick white bread is fine too.
Ham. And then we're gonna put a little bit of mayo. Just thinly.
And ham on top of that.
And then we're gonna put this back in the bread, in the egg.
Okay, and we're gonna assemble it.
And we're gonna smash it down. It says to
smash it down. So we're gonna smash it as much as possible.
So now we've put it in
the skillet with the butter.
So you're gonna put
about a tablespoon of butter into the skillet to fry it in.
It works really
good if you have tongs but we're using a spatula today.
And we're going to flip it.
Some people like to put toothpicks inside it to keep it together but it
doesn't matter...however you want to do it.
We're gonna kind of slide it around so
it picks up some of that butter because there's nothing better than fried butter!
And see how it's sizzling.
So you want to keep your skillet on maybe about between
five and six.
And you want to wait till it's a nice golden brown before you take
it out. So you want to smush it down again.
This doesn't take very long.
I would say four to five minutes at the most, but keep a close eye on it.
Don't walk away and do something else because you don't want it to burn.
You can tell that the cheese is starting to melt, and that's what you want, you want melted cheese in there.
You can tell the color of it, it's turning a nice golden brown.
Okay, it's all finished, so we're gonna plop it back on the plate.
And we're gonna come over here we're gonna dress it up to be able to serve it.
So you can slice it in half when you serve it, or sometimes that's just too
big of a sandwich, so you could even slice it into fourths.
And then you just a take a little bit of the powdered sugar and slightly sprinkle it on top of
the sandwich. Kind of like what we you would do for a french toast. And then you
take your jam, and sit it right in the middle of your serving tray.
And so, there you go! Disneyland's Monte Cristo sandwich!
Let's take a bite!
Take the sandwich. While it's hot, and dip it in the jam. Whoa!
Mmmm! That is really good!
But really sweet.
So I'm glad I only have 1/4 of one!
So then comment
below what you thought of the Monte Cristo if you tried it.
And what kind of jam you used. This is blackberry, which is very good, but let me
know if you used raspberry, or whatever, and how you liked that, and how it went over with
your friends. Bye!
