This was pretty tasty even thought it was a bit different from any other Monte Cristo that I've had. I don't remember ever having mustard on Monte's Cristo's and I really didn't care for it. Other than that, I will be making this again. The whole family (kids included) liked it!

I haven't tried this but had to calculate since no one else did. This is 8 points per sandwich on the new Points Plus program.
