How to Make Monte Cristo Grinder
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sauté 1 medium onion, 1 bell pepper (any color), and 2 cloves garlic, minced, in 2 tablespoons olive oil until the bell pepper is crisp-tender (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove the bell pepper and onion mixture from the skillet; set aside, reserving the olive oil mixture.
- Slice a large French baguette in half lengthwise.
- Layer 4 ounces thinly sliced ham, 4 ounces thinly sliced smoked turkey, 2 slices of tomato, and the sautéed bell pepper and onion mixture evenly on the bottom half of the baguette.
- Drizzle the reserved olive oil mixture over the filling.
- Sprinkle generously with 1 teaspoon dried oregano (optional, omit for classic Monte Cristo flavor).
- Top with 8 ounces shredded cheese (e.g., Gruyere, Swiss, or a blend).
- Cover with the top half of the baguette.
- Wrap the entire sandwich tightly in aluminum foil.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the bread is golden brown.
