My husband and I enjoy Monte Cristos so much that I created this non-fried version to cut down on fat. The addition of orange peel and pecans makes these beautiful sandwiches absolutely delicious! -Mary Shivers, Ada, Oklahoma

These sandwiches were delicious, but they were a bit too rich for my taste. I think I'll try making them with less butter next time.

I'm not a big fan of ham, so I used turkey instead. The sandwiches still turned out great, and my family loved them.

These sandwiches were easy to make and turned out great! I used a Belgian waffle maker to make the waffles, and they came out perfectly crispy.

These sandwiches were delicious, but they were a bit messy to eat. I think I'll try making them with toothpicks next time to hold them together.

These sandwiches were a little too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I think I'll try making them again with less raspberry jam next time.

I've made Monte Cristo sandwiches before, but never with waffles. This recipe was a game-changer! The waffles added a whole new level of flavor and texture.
