The Monte Cristo sandwich is a unique and indulgent variation of the French croque-monsieur. It became popular in the United States around the 1950s and 1960s. The sandwich typically consists of ham, turkey, and Swiss cheese between slices of bread that are then dipped in beaten egg and pan-fried or deep-fried until golden brown. Often, it is dusted with powdered sugar and served with a side of jam, usually raspberry, for dipping.
The origins of the Monte Cristo sandwich are a bit of a mystery, but it's believed to have evolved from the croque-monsieur, a grilled cheese and ham sandwich that originated in France around the early 20th century. "Monte Cristo" could be inspired by "The Count of Monte Cristo" by Alexandre Dumas, though the connection between the novel and the sandwich is speculative at best.
The sandwich gained widespread popularity when it appeared on menus in southern California theme parks and restaurants in the 1960s, making it a staple of American comfort food menus. It's known for its delightful contrast of savory and sweet flavours and rich and crunchy texture.
