Gluten Free Monte Cristo

This classic sandwich is probably my new favorite. Who doesn’t love a ham and cheese dipped in egg batter and fried in butter. It’s like taking the best lunch has to offer and combing it with breakfast. You just can’t go wrong.

Three Bakers NEW Large Slice Loafs

Yes, you read that correctly. Large slice loafs. That means your cheese will actually fit on the bread. Three Bakers just came out with two varieties in their gluten free large slice loafs. Classic White and Golden Flax. For the gluten free Monte Cristo, I used the Golden Flax and it was amazing!

Easy Peasy

This gluten free Monte Cristo is so easy to make! We have been making them left and right, trying out different cheeses and types of ham.

Recipe Notes

Only a few quick notes to go along with this gluten free sandwich.

  • Use two slices of cheese. One just isn’t enough. I actually used Havarti because it’s our favorite for sandwiches, but swiss, gouda, gruyere- it’s dealer’s choice!
  • Thick sliced ham. This is not the time to break out those thin deli lunchmeat slices. This sandwich is a great way to use up leftover ham.
  • Add the mayo and the mustard. I was hesitant. I’m not a big yellow mustard fan, but it was perfect. Something about the yellow mustard and the powdered sugar. Match made in heaven.
  • The bread soaks up the egg quickly. Be careful to not let it soak to long or it will fall apart.

Once you try this gluten free Monte Cristo, you may never go back to a plain ham and cheese again!
