Monte Cristo

The Monte Cristo Sandwich, according to Wikipedia:
A Monte Cristo is a fried ham and cheese sandwich, a variation of the French croque-monsieur. In the 1930s–1960s, American cookbooks had recipes for this sandwich, which was invented by John Logue of Roanoke, Texas, under such names as French Sandwich, Toasted Ham Sandwich, and French Toasted Cheese Sandwich. Emmental or Gruyère cheese is typically used.
In my opinion, the best Monte Cristo sandwich you'll ever eat is served at the Cafe Orleans in Disneyland, according to their menu:

The specialty of the house is, without a doubt, the Monte Cristo sandwich. Adapted from the French classic sandwich, croque-monsieur, the Monte Cristo sandwich appeared in California restaurants in the 1950s. Featured at Disneyland Park eateries since 1966, it has since become a coffee shop standard nationwide.
It could just be that anything in Disneyland taste better because, after all, you are in the "Happiest Place on Earth!"  or it could be that it's just an AMAZING sandwich.  They batter the entire sandwich then fry it...how can you go wrong with that?? 
Sadly, my homemade version is not quite so exciting, but it's still very tasty! We start with sourdough bread, white bread can be used, but we've found we prefer the sourdough.  Next, layer on some deli sliced ham (usually Black Forest Ham) and some sliced swiss cheese.  Mix together a couple of eggs and some milk.  Dip the bread sides of the sandwich into the egg mix and then place on the grill.  Grill both sides 3-4 minutes until golden brown then put on a plate and sprinkle with powdered sugar.  We then dip our sandwich into raspberry or strawberry jam.  Delish!!
