This is my 5-Ingredient hack on the Monte Cristo sandwich. You’ll need a flat-ish bread, like ciabatta or whatever you can find in the bakery. Ham and cheese. And you’ll need to panini-fy it – warm it up, smash it together.
And then you’ll devour each bite that’s been dipped into a sweet preserves – like strawberry or raspberry.
This is a great and fun way to “jazz up dinner” while still keeping it simple with a “sandwiches for dinner” kind of night.
