DISNEYLAND'S BLUE BAYOU MONTE CRISTO SANDWICH



Disneyland's Blue Bayou Monte Cristo Sandwich image

THE original. I've also posted a vegetarian version. I have had the privilege of eating this sandwich on several occasions at Blue Bayou, possibly one of the most romantic restaurants ever (fascinated by the fake fireflies!) Directions should warn not to ride Alice in Wonderland's Tea Cups' after eating this. Courtesy of Mouseplanet.com. Not diet friendly.

Time 40m

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 19

12 ounces red currant jelly
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon half-and-half
1 (12 ounce) jar red currant jelly
1 (15 ounce) can peaches (or your choice of canned fruit. I like peaches)
2/3 cup water
1 small egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
8 slices white bread
4 slices roasted cooked turkey (1 ounce each sandwich)
4 slices tillamook swiss cheese (1 ounce each sandwich)
4 slices smoked ham (1 ounce each sandwich)
vegetable oil, for frying
confectioners' sugar, for dusting
fruit, compote
currant jelly, sauce

Steps:

  • CURRANT JELLY SAUCE: Combine jelly, water and half and half in blender and mix until smooth. Makes about 3/4 cup.
  • FRUIT COMPOTE: Combine your favorite fresh and canned fruits and chill well. Yield is about 1/2 cup per person.
  • BATTER: Place water, egg, salt, and pepper in a bowl and using an electric mixer, mix well at low speed. Add flour and baking powder and mix until batter is smooth. Chill.
  • SANDWICHES: Make 4 sandwiches, putting cheese between ham and turkey. Cut into fourths and put a toothpick through each quarter.
  • Heat about 6" of oil to 340 degrees in a fryer. Dip sandwiches in batter to cover all surfaces. Deep fry sandwiches until golden brown, turning as needed. An alternate way of frying it to put approximately 1/4" oil in a large pan and fry the sandwiches on both sides until crispy and brown.
  • Remove from oil and take out toothpicks. Drain on paper towel to remove excess oil. Sprinkle sandwiches with confectioners' sugar. Serve with fruit compote and currant jelly sauce.

BLUE BAYOU MONTE CRISTO SANDWICH

From the Disney website: Of all the delectable offerings served at the restaurant during the last four decades, the most popular item by far is the Blue Bayou Monte Cristo Sandwich. It was available on the original 1967 menu (accompanied by a fresh fruit compote topped with toasted coconut) and is still available at lunch service today. The sandwich has been so popular over the years, with upwards of 200 of them served a day, that a card was printed up for guests who requested the recipe.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 egg
1 3/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons water
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
8 slices egg bread, sliced 1/2-inch thick (challah works well)
8 thin slices ham
8 thin slices turkey
8 thin slices swiss cheese
3 cups canola oil
confectioners' sugar
blackberry preserves

Steps:

  • Line a cookie sheet with paper towels; set aside.
  • Whisk the egg and water together in a mixing bowl. Add flour, salt, and baking powder and whisk thoroughly for 2 to 3 minutes or until smooth, scraping sides of bowl.
  • On one slice of bread, arrange 2 slices of ham, turkey, and cheese, covering the bread evenly. Place another slice of bread on top and slice each sandwich in half diagonally.
  • Heat oil to between 365 degrees F and 375 degrees F in a 10-inch pan. Do not let the oil reach a higher temperature than this; if the oil starts to smoke, turn the heat down. Dip half of the sandwich into the batter, allowing excess to drain, and very carefully place into the oil.
  • Repeat with the other sandwich half. Cook 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Place the cooked sandwich on the prepared cookie sheet in a warm oven until ready to serve. Repeat with the other three sandwiches.
  • Cook one at a time, and allow the oil to reach the desired temperature between each.
  • Sprinkle with confectioner's sugar and serve with blackberry preserves on the side.

Time 35m

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 19

12 ounces red currant jelly
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon half-and-half
1 (12 ounce) jar red currant jelly
1 (15 ounce) can peaches (or your choice of canned fruit. I like peaches)
2/3 cup water
1 small egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
8 slices white bread
4 roasted vegetarian turkey pieces or 4 cooked vegetarian chicken pieces, cut in half to 1/4-inch thickness
4 slices tillamook swiss cheese (1 ounce each sandwich)
8 slices tempeh bacon, cooked (or your favorite veggie bacon, such as Morningstar Farms, etc.)
vegetable oil, for frying
confectioners' sugar, for dusting
fruit, compote
currant jelly, sauce

Steps:

  • NOTE: I used Morningstar Farms "chik patties", but Tofurkey deli mock turkey slices would work, too as would mock ham deli slices for the bacon.
  • CURRANT JELLY SAUCE: Combine jelly, water and half and half in blender and mix until smooth. Makes about 3/4 cup.
  • FRUIT COMPOTE: Combine your favorite fresh and canned fruits and chill well. Yield is about 1/2 cup per person.
  • BATTER: Place water, egg, salt, and pepper in a bowl and using an electric mixer, mix well at low speed. Add flour and baking powder and mix until batter is smooth. Chill.
  • SANDWICHES: Make 4 sandwiches, putting cheese between veggie bacon and mock chicken cutlet. Cut into fourths and put a toothpick through each quarter.
  • Heat about 6 inches of oil to 340 degrees in a fryer. Dip sandwiches in batter to cover all surfaces. Deep fry sandwiches until golden brown, turning as needed. An alternate way of frying it to put approximately 1/4-inch oil in a large pan and fry the sandwiches on both sides until crispy and brown.
  • Remove from oil and take out toothpicks. Drain on paper towel to remove excess oil. Sprinkle sandwiches with confectioners' sugar. Serve with fruit compote and currant jelly sauce.
