Monte Cristo Sandwiches

 This sandwich is one of Kale and my favorites! It comes from the 'Pillsbury Bake-Off' cookbook. My Mom made these for Christmas Eve in 2004, and they were a huge hit! I have been making them ever since.. I hope you like them too!

These amazing sandwiches are stuffed with sliced honey ham, turkey, muenster cheese and raspberry preserves. The breading is my beloved crescent dough. Oh how I love me some crescent dough.

Here's how you make them...

Start by melting 2 tbs each of butter and honey.. 

While their melting in the microwave, get your crescent roll triangles (there should be 8 in a can) and press 2 of them together to form a rectangle.. Making 4 per can. Then spread about 1/2 tbs of the melted butter/honey mix onto the dough rectangle. (I can only fit 4 rectangles per baking sheet) Bake in a 375 degree oven until golden (about 8 minutes)

They should look like this when done baking.

Golden and scrumptious.

                 Now start layering those bad boys.

Take one crust and top with 4 or 5 slices

of turkey. Top turkey with another crust,

and top that crust with slices of honey ham.

Layer 3 pieces of cheese over the ham.

                Place another crust over the cheese

and smear it with as much raspberry

jam your heart desires. Top jam with one

last crust.(so you've used 4 crusts total)

Now make another sandwich the exact same

way, with the other 4 crusts and ingredients.

You will have 2 large sandwiches total.

              Pop them in the oven and bake for about

12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

Start watching them after 10 minutes to make

sure they dont burn!

Be still my ♥! Mmmmm...
