Fun-Sized Monte Cristo Sandwiches- FOOD PHOTO SHOOT

in photography •  7 years ago 

We're so close to 2018 my friends!

So have you ever heard of a Monte Cristo sandwich? If not, these are going to blow your mind. Actually even if you have they’ll probably still make you fall in love with them. On a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being celery and 10 being a big mac and a cookie dough blizzard with a side of fries) how bad would you say these are? Pretty bad?, okay got it. Fine, but there is like cheese and lean turkey and stuff, that’s nutritious right? Oh, and I used whole wheat bread so therefore these equal a completely balanced snack, yep.

Clearly I’m not doing so well thus far on fulfilling my promise to post lots of healthy stuff but we're still in the holidays before the end of the year. And in my defence I had made these to share them for the holidays for everyone. You’d think I would have started off the new year with something really significant, but nope, these were just a random decision, sorry if I disappoint. Although, I can’t imagine a scenario in which these would be a disappointment so never mind. Taking it back, I’m not apologizing for these because they’re so good!

I thought they’d be a really good snacketizer for Superbowl month too (if you like American football, that is). I mean, you all know how I feel about the game (big dudes smashing into each other over an oddly shaped ball based on rules I’ve never cared enough to attempt understanding??? Well, it's not my first choice to watch on a Sunday night), but then you’ll also know how much I love getting to be a part of all the yummy tailgate food. That I can do!

These are really simple to make you guys. Really. All it is; step 1- cut ham and turkey sandwiches into quarters, step 2- dip in batter, step 3- fry till gold and crispy, step 4- douse in powdered sugar and berry jelly and devour like no one’s watching! Happy first Monday of the year!

ALL CONTENT IS MINE AND ORIGINAL! All of these food photos were taken with my Nikon D5300 and my favorite Lens, the Nikon AF-S FX NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G. You can find out more in my INTRO POST.

And, by the way, to all the minnows out there, my intro post did a huge $0.21. The key to success on Steemit is to be consistent and persistent.

this looks like a tasty little snack. yummy

They're mouth-watering! Some people don't like it when they're too tasty though. I wonder if they'd be better with bigger pieces of bread with the same amount of filling.

I'M SO HUNGRY RIGHT NOW, great post

Nice to look at. Very delicious. "Oh, that cheese though!!"

I'm taking notes

Thanks, haha, @theprintuplist

You have me drooling. These look so good and cute for snacking on, although I think I probably could make a meal out of them. lol

welcome to steemit @chowdhary, thanks so much for stopping by

Yea! I don't care if they are a 10 (I like 10's)! LOL! They looks awesomely good. Very comforting. Snowing here in Pa today. Two inches on the ground and still snowing. Guess I have some shoveling to do...that will work off some calories. Have a great day.

We had about 10 inches in 1 hour yesterday, it was crazy. I should post about it, but I didn't get any good photos.

So glad you liked my sandwiches and thanks so much for your continued support!

Gosh that look delicious. I will make this recipe, but how do you make the batter? Any flour? thanks for sharing, looking forward to more.

Ooh what words do l use, the Monte Cristo sandwich looks delicious and how the cheese just melts. Good job.

Thank you so much @frigirl!

These are amazing. I'll never forget the first Monte-Cristo sandwich I had at the Jolly Roger Inn in Anaheim, California. Fantastic memories

So happy to bring back the good times @mamaloves!

They make them at a restaurant here locally. Here they are basically French toast with ham, turkey and cheese on them dusted with powered sugar. My son loves them.

That sounds wonderful @tecnosgirl! Thanks for reading.

so yammi food.. thanks for sharing
