A triple-decker ham, turkey, and cheese sandwich dipped in a tempura-style batter; fried to a golden brown; then served with a dusting of powdered sugar and a side of raspberry preserves. After a substandard lunch at the hospital, I had every excuse to indulge in the guilty pleasure of a deep-fried sandwich, and it did not disappoint. Another excuse of course was just being able to celebrate a day for something like a Monte Cristo. Happy National Monte Cristo Day! #montecristo #swisscheese #americancheese #turkey #ham #coldbatter #raspberrypreserves #powderedsugar #crisco #batterandfryit #dunkthatwich #deepfriedsandwich #hamandcheese #nationalmontecristoday #bennigans #sootycooks👩🏻‍🍳
