Reviews
Good and I loved the cranberry sauce…so did my kids! My 11 yr old said ” It taste like Christmas!”
Easy to make, fun to make with the kids
my 7 yr. old loved this
These were awesome! Cranberry sauce was a great compliment, will definently make these again and again!
I tried this for my family and they loved it! It was easy and fast which is great for me. I wanted to learn how to make a monte christo for sometime now and would order at restaurants but it was always expensive. I can now make it and get my fix without paying restaurant high prices.
a family favorite
My mom and I watched this episode and she decided that she wanted me to make one for her. I have issues w/combining savory with sweet so I didn’t try it (I just gave my bread an egg wash before frying it), but I followed the recipe for my mom’s sandwich and she loved it.
I thought this recipe was wonderful. I was a little nervous about the cranberry syrup bu the kids loved it.
My Wife and a I enjoy having our kids home from college enjoying food together. This receipe for Monti Christo is perfect comfort food, this is very easy to prepare and the kids love it. All of Aaron’s receiprs that we have tried have been excellant
This sandwhich was the best thing that I’VE EVER FIXED ACCORDING TO MY CHILDREN. I love all your recipe’s that I’ve tried. I knew this would be a winner also! Thanks, Delphine
