Really good! I doubled the egg mixture and let it cook for about 40 minutes.
I added a slice of tomato and avocado on top. Will definitely make it again.
I didn’t have swiss so I used velveeta. My husband didn’t like it but my daughter and I did. I put two pieces together to make a sandwich, sort of stuffed french toast, type. It was a little too cheesy with the velveeta so a white cheese is probably best. May or may not make again.
I have made this several times! It is amazing!
I was looking for a way to make a baked Monte Cristo as I had an overabundance of deli ham and this fit the bill. I used shredded cheese instead slices as that I’d what I had on hand as well as sprinkled a bit of nutmeg into the custard base. I served it with a raspberry and maple coulis for dipping. To make it a more authentic Monte Cristo, I may top the ham with deli turkey as well. But this was fantastic, thanks Piques for sharing this recipe!
The only thing I changed was adding in dill instead of mustard powder, which I didn’t have. BF liked a lot, and he is picky.
