Monte Cristo Sandwich ~

While looking around for a new recipe i stumbled upon something that made my mouth water. HA! :o) I wrote down the recipe and forgot to save where i found it. Sorry...whoever's recipe this is...i give you full credit!! Ok now...If you have never had a Monte Cristo Sandwich, i feel sorry for you! :P And being from the south...anything deep fried is the best! I have had a Monte Cristo Sandwich just a few times but let me tell you.....yumm-O! So now i have to make this. Maybe not once a week {i don't even want to know how many calories is in this puppy} but every once in awhile youbetcha. So hereya go........
