Carbquick Monte Cristo........variations???

sdbeeme · 10-13-2004, 08:56 AM

I made the Monte Cristo last night............VERY good, easy too!

I got to wondering about other possible "sandwich" type variations......what about roast beef and havarti with a horseradish spread or a turkey and mozzarella with a pesto spread!?!?!? What do you think???? Has anyone tried any variations of this!??

A Reuben (corned beef, sauerkraut and swiss) with homemade thousand island dressing is good.

sdbeeme · 10-13-2004, 05:53 PM

no one else brave enough?!!??!

Good with just turkey and cheddar too.

Smoked ham and swiss with dijon mustard.

I am thinking some Sweet Italian sausage, fried green, red and yellow peppers and of course some onions.

Think this would work?

Sharon M. · 10-16-2004, 04:38 PM

I used "steak-um" beef and sauteed green peppers, mushroom, and onion, and mozzerella {sp??} . Ofcourse you need to quickly pan fry your steak-um meat and drain well your veggies. I recommend using your meat with all other filling between it so they don't bake into the bread. I am going to try browned hot sausage, sauted mushroom, onion, green pepper, and cheese and put a small amount of pizza sauce in there also.

how about a poorboy with remoulade sauce?

Cocapelle · 10-21-2004, 03:39 PM

Hey, just remember that a small onion is 7 carbs. I know.....it shocked me, too! I love onions!

I made the Monte Cristo..tonight..All 3 of us loved it..DS had seconds..He is pretty fussy, so that is a miracle..

Question: My dough was pretty thick..a little hard to spread..
How was your dough????

sdbeeme · 10-21-2004, 08:19 PM

mine was thick too........I wet my fingers with water and spread it out that way.......worked great!!

Black olives
roasted sweet peppers
salami
Prosciutto
Provolone Cheese

sdbeeme · 10-22-2004, 11:00 AM

Turkey, Havarti and some kind of sub for cranberry sauce. Maybe something from Steel's? Yum, I have some Sour Cherry Jam. Bet that would be good.

1BellaDonna · 10-24-2004, 02:44 AM

just made the orig. montecristo yesterday and it was pretty good. probably would be considered 'great' if i thought about how i am not really a fan of coldcuts to begin with!!!

anyway, i love the ideas you guys are coming up with....that mufaletta (sp?) will probably be my next one, although i've never had a 'normal' mufaletta before.

also, what's in a poorboy? i know it's from louisiana, from my good ole days of being able to see emeril.

thanks for the great suggestions!!!
