Monte Cristo Grilled Cheese is a delicious and easy sandwich made with only 6 ingredients! Pepperidge Farm Farmhouse™ Oatmeal bread, Hillshire Farm® Thin Sliced Honey Ham, Hellmann’s Real Mayonnaise®, and Swiss cheese are grilled to perfection, then served with raspberry jam and dusted with powdered sugar.

I first fell in love with the traditional Monte Cristo back in college. My friends and I frequented a restaurant, and the Monte Cristo was always the menu item I chose. While I love the traditional sandwich and its flavors, I don’t always have the time to fry it, like the original. My grilled cheese version is much easier and even more delicious.

You can’t start a sandwich without quality bread, like Pepperidge Farm® from Walmart. I love Farmhouse Oatmeal bread because it is hearty, delicious and uses wholesome ingredients. Hillshire Farm® Thin Sliced Honey Ham is slow roasted for hours, has the perfect amount of sweetness with premium quality honey, and has no artificial flavors or by-products.

Did you know you can use Hellmann’s® Real Mayonnaise on the outside of your bread to make a perfect grilled cheese sandwich? Hellmann’s® Real Mayonnaise is made with real, simple ingredients, like eggs, oil, and vinegar. I love using Hellmann’s® Real Mayonnaise to amp up my sandwiches by mixing it with fun flavors too.

Swiss cheese is one of those cheeses I have to be in the mood for. I like it on Monte Cristo sandwiches and prefer Lacey Swiss or Baby Swiss for their milder flavor. You can use whichever kind of Swiss Cheese you like best.

I always serve my Monte Cristo sandwiches with either a raspberry jam or raspberry sauce. The tart-sweet combination works perfectly with the savory sandwich. Dust with powdered sugar for a restaurant-worthy presentation!
