The other day, at Disneyland, we walked by a restaurant near Pirates of the Caribbean and it smelled divine! Mark decided to look it up and it seemed that restaurant's speciality was Monte Cristo Sandwiches. Mark then made it his personal mission to find the recipe online and to have it for dinner. Thanks to pinterest, he found it and we had it for dinner last night. It definitely isn't healthy and it definitely isn't something I'll make on a regular basis, but it is a fun treat every once in a while. It's kind of a cross between breakfast and dinner and would be a fun, fancy breakfast for a special day. I doubled the recipe, but I'll post the original.
Ingredients:
1 Pepperidge Farm Frozen Puff Pastry
8 slices of Black Forest Ham
4 slices swiss cheese
1 egg
1 tbsp water
powdered sugar
maple syrup, jam, dijon mustard
Directions
Preheat oven to 400
Beat egg and water in a bowl
Unfold pastry and on a floured surface roll out into a 12x12 inch square (it doesn't really require too much rolling and you need plenty of flour because it sticks!)
Cut into four 6 inch squares and brush egg mixture onto edges
Place 2 slices of ham and one slice of cheese near one corner of each square
Fold each square over, corner to corner, to form a triangle and press edges together
Brush each pastry with egg mixture and place on baking sheet
Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown
Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve with either maple syrup, jam, or dijon mustard
