My thoughts:
No ane seems certain precisely how or why Monte Cristo sandwiches got their call but it seems similar they were the consequence of to a greater extent than or less lodge sandwich development crossed alongside the Croque Monsieur . They were rootage mentioned the Brown Derby Cookbook published inward 1949 but they reached their national peak of popularity inward the 1950s. Some eating theatre chains deep pocket-size fry their Monte Cristo sandwiches but early on recipes telephone outcry upward for pan frying inward butter which is non exclusively easier to produce at home, is genuinely tasty. Oddly, I wasn't able to detect a authentic recipe that genuinely included a recipe for the batter (even the 1949 Brown Derby version only calls for dipping the sandwich inward a "light egg batter") hence I came upward alongside a batter that was a lilliputian thinner than pancake batter but to a greater extent than substantial than dipping it inward egg together with milk every bit I would for French toast. Early recipes likewise telephone outcry upward for buttering the breadstuff on each side. I opted to purpose mustard instead which would concord the sandwich together every bit good every bit butter spell cutting downward a chip on the over the overstep richness. It likewise added a sudden flavour that was welcome.
