This is the best Monte Cristo I've ever had. I made some substitutions to make it healthier for me, but it was fantastic. It helped to fulfill a sweet and savory craving. Rachael Ray ROCKS!

My bread slices were nice and thick. It was hard to get them coated without them getting too soaked with the egg mixture. My havarti wasn't satisfying enough..I wanted more of a spice to my cheese. It filled the belly for lunch but not going to add to the permanent collection.
