Many thanks for the ping.....and for posting your home-grown memories.
Crustless cheesecake? Sure would like to have that recipe.
Course, we could also redo the Monte Cristo recipes for the benefit of this thread.......LOL
Oh, my. Monte Cristo's are my downfall, too. Haven't had a really good one in ages!
We used to have chain here in Houston called Jojo's that was like a Denny's with an alcoholic beverage license and I think their Monte Christo's were the best I've ever had. They *understood* those of us who liked some sweet stuff with our sandwich and dusted them with powdered sugar, served with a small ramekin of orange marmalade, which I always had to ask for a 2nd of.
La Madeleine makes them, but theirs aren't as good. That's one favorite food that I cannot make at home to my liking. I'm not a good fryer of things, since I hate the smell in the house, so not much practice. Thanks for the memory - and a new project.
