Monte Cristo

There are ham sandwiches.  Then, there are ham/french toast/grilled cheese SANDWICHES.  Huh?  Is this breakfast or lunch?  Simple, it's both.  Introducing, the Monte Cristo.  As far as sandwiches are concerned, this is a favourite.  Sweet and savoury, this hits all the marks as far as my palette is concerned. 

I'm officially in love.  Can you be in love with a sandwich?  Meh, at least J seems to share my enthusiasm.  It's no wonder we found each other.  We are a match made in sandwich heaven.  Score.
