....a Monte Cristo sandwich, Mmmmmmm. The recipe was in the Disney magasine a couple years ago and I've made it many times. I had my first Monte Cristo Sandwich in Disneyland at the Blue Bayou but I have to say I was nearly sick after eating it. I think they're deep fried, too much batter. I remember waiting in line to ride the Haunted Mansion and everyone in my family (we had all ordered the sandwich) were feeling kinda sick. Making them homemade was WAY better. It must be late, pretty sad when you start writing long posts over a sandwich!
And here's the recipe in case any others out there are craving one too
Blue Bayous Monte Cristo Sandwich
Chef Timothy Kopaceski, New Orleans Square, Disneyland Resort
2 slices white bread
1 ounce Swiss cheese
1.5 ounces sliced ham
1.5 ounces sliced turkey
6 ounces blackberry jam
4 cups canola oil, for frying
1 tablespoon cream
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Batter:
31⁄2 cups water
1 egg
31⁄2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
11⁄2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons corn starch
In a large mixing bowl, mix all wet batter ingredients; then add all dry batter ingredients and mix thoroughly. It is best to let batter rest for 2 hours before cooking.
Stack sandwiches in this order: white bread, cheese, ham, turkey, cheese and white bread. Press sandwiches together. This helps to keep sandwiches together during frying.
In a deep fryer or frying pot, add oil and bring to 350 F. When oil comes to 350 F, dip sandwich in batter and cover completely. Carefully place sandwich in hot oil, and cook for 2 minutes on each side.
Drain sandwich and dust with powdered sugar. Serve with blackberry jam
