Monte Cristo in Puerto Vallarta

The Monte Cristo in this Mexican interpretation layers slices of ham and cheese between two pieces of bread, which are then dipped in an egg batter and fried until golden brown. The resulting sandwich is crispy on the outside, creating a contrast to the savory, melted cheese and salty ham within. Finished with a dusting of powdered sugar and served alongside a tart blackberry or raspberry jam, the dish balances rich, savory flavors with a hint of sweetness and acidity.
