The better batter is the big secret here-it's light and crispy and perfectly golden brown, and the sandwich features two kinds of cheese, both white and yellow American. Once I was back in the lab in Vegas, I subjected the sandwich to a series of tasty tests, burned through several versions of batter, and eventually assembled this new Cheddar's Monte Cristo copycat recipe that I think is even better than my previous Bennigan's hack. I planned for the mission by bringing along a cooler of ice so that I could get a fresh sample safely back home. Will this be the best Monte Cristo you've ever had? You’re about to find out. I hacked Bennigans' version years ago for my cookbook Top Secret Restaurant Recipes 2, and recently, on a trip to Charlotte, North Carolina, I was able to get my hands on Cheddars' signature version of this famous sandwich. It probably sounds strange if you've never had one, but Monte Cristo alums know it all tastes pretty darn great together. At each chain the sandwich is built with turkey, ham, and cheese, then it’s battered and fried, dusted with powdered sugar, and served with raspberry preserves for dipping. When pondering casual chains with the best Monte Cristo sandwiches, two come to mind: Bennigan's and Cheddar's recipes. Menu Description: "Smoked ham, smoked turkey, two cheeses, battered and fried until golden with raspberry preserves and dusted with powdered sugar."
