I remember first getting a Monte Cristo sandwich at a diner in Los Angeles when I was young. I remember thinking how awesome it was that I could get a sandwich like that for lunch or dinner, and it was almost like a dessert since the powdered sugar made it sweet. I have such a strong sweet tooth, that when something savory like a sandwich is mixed with something sweet, I usually like it. I feel almost like I am cheating and getting dessert for a meal! Yum!
This sandwich was no exception. It, too, was delicious. I love that Hungry Girl was able to make one of my diner favorites into a healthier alternative. Only six points for a sandwich like this is pretty incredible - especially since the diner alternative is probably loaded with fat and calories. Granted, this sandwich is much smaller, and doesn't come with a side of french fries, but it still brought back memories of that yummy Monte Cristo sandwich from when I was younger. And was also just as good! Mmmm!
