Monte Cristo Grinder
Description: π₯ͺ Killer Sandwich! A bit of a take on a Monte Cristo minus the egg/french toast. If you’re seeking a more classic Monte Cristo flavor, add 1 teaspoon of yellow mustard to 3/4 cup of mayo and leave out the oregano and the bell pepper/onion/oil mixture. Add the spread after cooking because cooked mayo is kind of nasty.
