MONTE CRISTO STYLE BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

Casserole This Monte Cristo style breakfast features melted pieces of ham and Swiss cheese. It deconstructs the now classic sandwich and reunites it in a truly delicious, easy baking sheet, all in one breakfast or grilled brunch.

A Monte Cristo is basically a fried ham & cheese sandwich (usually Swiss), and is a twist on the more traditional French croque-monsieur. These mostly savory sandwiches are often sprinkled with a little powdered sugar before serving, and are coated with preserved sides of raspberry fruit.

In short, this is the best cheese toasted breakfast you have ever eaten, with or without optional sugar and preservatives. Although, I highly recommend them to really get the full experience.
