Monte Cristo Lasagna – is a fun twist on a Monte Cristo sandwich. Made with lasagna noodles, white cream sauce, ham, shredded Swiss cheese, turkey, and topped with golden puff pastry. Serve this Monte Cristo Lasagna for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Have you ever been somewhere that just gets you?
There was Fried Green Tomato BLT, Beef Bologna Slab, and Mom’s Meatloaf, oh my! Each grilled cheese peaked my curiosity and had me jazz-hands-ing for more. But for me, the piece de resistance was the Monte Cristo.
You’ve heard of this little fellow, right? Fried ham, turkey, and cheese sandwich dusted with confectioners sugar. This famous sandwich (hello, they wrote a book about it. wait. the book isn’t about the sandwich? no wonder English lit was confusing) even has a sister-cousin called the croque-madame.
Now, you can’t talk about decadent grilled cheese without talking about lasagna. Do WHUT? Just go with me for a second. Don’t get me wrong, I luvvvvvv me some grilled cheese. But it’s the holidays and with the potlucks every other night, things can get a little hectic. So, I decided to turn the Monte Cristo into a more portable vehicle, lasagna.
Layers of noodles, ham, turkey, Swiss cheese, white sauce, and a perfectly golden puff pastry crust makes this dish the must-have for any holiday recipe exchange. Oh! And speaking of recipe exchange, I want to invite y’all along to our holiday recipe exchange party!
