Ever had a Monte Cristo?

If not, you should add it to your bucket list!

I know they make them at Disneyland, but, they're CLOSED.

It's like French toast

Stuffed with Turkey, Ham, and Cheese

Then, sealed by the egg batter

as it is griddled.

Usually served with strawberry jam.

I used to have this for breakfast when we played in Vegas.

Hey! You can make this yourself.

Add a dusting of powdered sugar and cut it diagonally before serving.

31 g of FAT, 15 g of which is saturated  - and 58% of your daily salt allowance?

It BETTER be worth it!!

It's not in the bread,

It's all in your head Nancy.

Nancy's going to call this one a "salt mine" 

Half a sandwich but even more salt than the first one.

Very rarely do I find something this decadent looking like something I would like - but I actually would enjoy this, I think. 

Not going to happen, though.  No deep fryer in THIS house!
