Baked Monte Cristo French Toast

This Baked Monte Cristo French Toast recipe is chock full of bold, delicious flavors: Swiss cheese, ham, and turkey stuffed between two thick slices of French toast and topped with a sweet, berry syrup. What’s NOT to love?? They’re a delightful twist on the traditional Monte Cristo Sandwiches and are very similar to our Breakfast Monte Cristos. If you are only wanting to make just one Monte Cristo for yourself, I would suggest just making the Breakfast Monte Cristo recipe but this baked version is MUCH easier for a crowd. Both recipes are fantastic. It really just depends on what method you want to use.

Suggestions for this Baked Version

This baked Monte Cristo French Toast recipe only takes a few short minutes of prep time. You can easily make it the night before and refrigerate overnight (they actually taste best this way)Each individual stuffed French Toast is one serving… and believe me, it is FILLING. You can serve these with something lighter like orange slices or berries but honestly you don’t need much else! This is a pretty hearty breakfast as-is!Unlike “traditional” Monte Cristos, these stuffed French Toast Monte Cristos are BAKED… which makes them somewhat healthier than the fried recipes.For the syrup, you can use any kind of berry syrup. We used the Smucker’s Boysenberry Syrup and it was out of this world good, but really you can use any kind of berry syrup you like. As an alternative, you can top these with jam if you don’t have any berry syrup and you won’t be disappointed. My husband actually likes them better with jam than syrup so it is totally up to you how you want to make it!
