If you love sweet and savory, this sandwich is for you! The ingredient amounts (also in grams) are right in the description and the print recipe is linked there as well. As always, thanks for liking our recipes and videos and sharing our family table each week.

Im a serious sandwich guy. Monte Cristo is in Top 10. I like it best with a mixed-berry jam I get which includes cranberries. That + a few dashes of Tobasco in the jam. Just so damn good.

your son is getting tall!! He is well spoken and adorable!! We have had a fun bonus of watching him grow up ....xoxxox

[keeptrying]

(Trouble is) Every time I watch ur vids I want to scrap whatever I already had planned and MAKE THIS. Looks awesome !!!

[crystalrowan]

James is a genius! I love his idea of him hosting/cooking a recipe!!

[mikekratz]

Unlike some kids who will only eat a few things and hate everything else, James is learning about all kinds of food and expanding his palate. Good food is one of the great joys in life.

I love James! What a great kid! This entire video is so positive. I don't know how old James is, but he expresses himself with a clarity that many adults today do not have. When he says, "I love this." it makes your heart sing.

[awtumnrain]

this family is so wholesome. I love the recipes, but the interactions at the end keep me watching till the credits.

[atlenebartolino]

OMG. Whatever you are feeding this kid is making him grow by leaps and bounds! I like his idea of him doing the cooking. You knew that day would come! Love your videos

[douglasfrank]

Nice crunch with James's first bite.

[bethotoole]

Can’t wait for James’s spaghetti and hot dogs!
Your ‘taste tester’ is almost as tall as you Dad!! I remember when he was just a wee sprout! 😂😂

Congratulations to his wonderful parents

Monte Cristo is my favorite sandwich. Haven't made it in forever. I think the "bread" is the star of the sandwich. I use a Hawaiian bread 😋 It sounds like it would be nasty, but it's not. Also I use blackberry preserves.

[janekopa]

Please show us how to make your bread.

James, that's a great idea you had....Dad has to video and you and Mom cook 💯

[gregorydonohue]

James seems like a great kid. Agree he is coming into his own. As the father of three teenage boys (19, 16, 14) I see so many commonalities in the emerging personality, confidence, and overall maturity of that young man at his stage. Great banter with the folks. Recipe is killer too.

[Wheels_NYC]

Definitely need an episode with James cooking! These look incredible as always, Jim!

[aliciaburchell]
