Smile Monte Cristo Sandwich

Does anyone know where (if anywhere) you can get a true Monte Cristo Sandwich complete with sprinkled powdered sugar and some kind of jam or preserves? I haven’t had one in decades and now I am searching for one intently! Thanks in advance for any recommendations!

If you don’t mind traveling a little you can still get them at Disneyland. They had them at the Plaza restaurant at Magic Kingdom but it’s no longer on the menu. I hear they have them at the Riviera Resort at Disney World but haven’t verified.

I’ve tried making them with varying degrees of success. Disneyland Monte Cristo Sandwich Recipe | The Picky Palate

I hope you meant Disney World plaza restaurant. You are correct Plaza has removed it from their menu…however if you ask some time they will make it for you. We had one last week there. Shush it’s a secret

Yes. I meant The Plaza at WDW. But the first place I ever had one was at the Blue Bayou restaurant at Disneyland. That had to be at least 40 years ago. That’s why I mentioned if he was willing to travel. lol

From the menu at Gators Dockside in Brownwood:

Monte Cristo
Sliced turkey, ham, Swiss, and yellow
American cheese stacked between
3 slices of bread, then hand-battered
and fried to a perfect golden brown.
Sprinkled with powdered sugar and
served with raspberry preserves.

Haven't tried it so can't say how it tastes.

Lots of bread.thin slice of Turkey, ham and Swiss. American cheese was not a bonus. Close to the worst sandwich we have ever had.

It’s not a hard sandwich to make. You need a sturdy bread, add protein, quickly dip in well blended egg. I use a panini press. Browns quickly with perfect crust. Nobody needs to fry to get the results. We use homemade raspberry preserve.
