Monte Cristo Style Grilled Cheese Sandwich
This tasty cheesy Monte Cristo Style Grilled Cheese Sandwich made with new Sara Lee® Artesano™ Bread is the perfect choice for a satisfying lunch or easy dinner! (I've written this sponsored post on behalf of Sara Lee® Artesano™ Bread and as always, all opinions are mine alone.)
Did you know that April is National Grilled Cheese month? I was very excited to learn about this event. I happen to love grilled cheese so celebrating seems like the thing to do!
I can't think of a better "grilled cheese" than this delicious and easy-to-make Monte Cristo Style Grilled Cheese Sandwich.
I was first introduced to the Monte Cristo as a kid. This was one of my own mother's quick, go-to meals when I was growing up, so as you can imagine, it sort of holds a special place in my heart.
As I grew older, my Monte Cristo evolved into a sandwich a little different from my mom's version. My version uses only ham, not the usual ham and turkey combination. I also prefer using a grainy mustard and a mayo mixture. Mom used plain yellow mustard and no mayo.
And lastly, I recently discovered Sara Lee® Artesano™ Bread which has taken my Monte Cristo to a new level of deliciousness!
Have you tried this bread yet?
It's basically the perfect vehicle for my Monte Cristo Style Grilled Cheese. This bakery-style bread is thick cut so it holds up well to the egg wash in this sandwich. The texture of the bread itself is soft and fluffy with an Italian bread flavor profile, which is perfect with the salty ham and creamy Swiss cheese. I also love that it's made without artificial colors or high fructose corn syrup.
