There’s something timeless about a Monte Cristo—just like the dependable comfort of cooking with natural gas. At Walton Gas, we’re proud to fuel moments that bring people together, whether it’s around the dinner table or the stovetop.
Why Gas Cooking Makes the Difference
One of the secrets to the perfect Monte Cristo is that golden, evenly toasted crust—and that’s where your gas stove really shines. The quick, responsive heat ensures the bread crisps up just right, while the inside melts into savory, cheesy perfection. Whether you’re flipping pancakes or frying up sandwiches, cooking with gas gives you the control and consistency home chefs love.
Monte Cristo Sandwich Recipe
Serves 1
Ingredients:
- 2 slices of bread (white or brioche works best)
- 1 teaspoon mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon prepared mustard
- 2 slices cooked ham
- 2 slices cooked turkey
- 1 slice Provolone cheese
- 1 large egg
- Butter or oil, for the skillet
Instructions:
- Assemble the Sandwich: Spread the mayonnaise on one slice of bread and the mustard on the other. Layer the ham, turkey, and Provolone cheese between the slices to create your sandwich.
- Dip in Egg: Beat the egg in a shallow bowl. Carefully dip the entire sandwich into the egg, coating both sides—just like French toast.
- Cook on a Gas Stove: Heat a skillet over medium flame on your gas stove. Add a bit of butter or oil. Once it’s sizzling, gently place the sandwich in the pan.
- Golden Brown Goodness: Cook for about 3–4 minutes per side, pressing slightly with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is perfectly melted.
- Serve & Enjoy: Slice in half and serve warm!
