Monte Cristo sandwiches have stood the test of time. There must be something there.
They're cooked sandwiches, often with both cheese and meat. But what really makes them is that they are both sweet and savory--with either honey or jam and then something savory, often mustard.
The sandwich above is a sweet and savory grilled cheese sandwich. And listen to what a customer posted:
"For me, a grilled cheese sandwich is a fabulous meal, but adding Jalapeno Honey was an absolute game-changer."
So the secret is--it's what you add to the cheese, something sweet, something saucy, or both.
See "How to Make Better Grilled Cheese Sandwiches." See "How to Make Monte Cristo Sandwiches."
Consider using Diego's Jalapeno Cheese Bread. And here's the Jalapeno Honey. |
