Classic Monte Cristo Sandwich Recipe

To make these Monte Cristo sandwiches, you’ll be using bread, ham (thin-sliced deli-style), turkey (similarly sliced), and Gruyere cheese, which is something Dalton describes as “tangy and salty and wonderful for this sandwich.” She does say, though, that “if you can’t get hold of it, use cheddar or a cheese of your choice.”

The garlic mayonnaise that flavors these sandwiches is something you’ll concoct from stirring chopped garlic into store-bought mayonnaise. You’ll also need some Dijon mustard for this sandwich, although Dalton does say that if you “don’t have Dijon mustard, you can use yellow mustard.”
