This sounds exactly like the way I make it. The only difference is we also put real maple syrup over it. Yum!

I love Bennigans Monte Cristo. I limit myself from going there cause it hurts when I'm done eating. Now I can hurt myself at home..Really though thanks for the recipe. I'll be making it soon.
