Monte Cristo Grilled Cheese
I can’t think of a better grilled cheese (or even a better sandwich, for that matter) than a homemade Monte Cristo Grilled Cheese. This only takes a little more effort than a plain-old turkey sandwich, so give this a try for lunch or even an easy dinner! It takes less than 20 minutes to make, start to finish! And I’m here to tell you…this is DELICIOUS. Of course, you can double the ingredients here, and throw two sandwiches in a larger skillet! There’s no reason someone else should have to miss out on this treat! You could always make some delicious Broccoli Cheese Soup to serve alongside the sandwich as well.
