BENNIGAN'S MONTE CRISTO SANDWICH



Bennigan's Monte Cristo Sandwich image

My local Bennigans closed down over a year ago. I used to treat myself to my favorite sandwich of all time - The Monte Cristo. No one made it like they did! Had a craving for one and decided to do some research online and found the recipe! I used honey cured meats instead of just the regular meats and it came out AMAZING!!...
