One of my sons could not get past the Monte Cristo sandwich at the Blue Bayou Restaurant in Disneyland. I made this casserole for him and he loved it. I hope you do to.

What a great idea, you had me @ blue bayou where I had my first Monte Cristo (& fell in love with) decades ago! This was tasty & will be making again. Actually it's dinner tonight!

I had a craving and didn't have any store bought french toast so I made my own. Instead of dicing, I sliced them in half, on the diagonal, with the ham, turkey, and cheese sandwiched inbetween for a fun presentation. Served it with fresh strawberries!
