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

I've never had a Monte Cristo sandwich before, but these were delicious! The waffles were light and fluffy, and the filling was cheesy and gooey. I will definitely be making these again.

I thought these sandwiches were just okay. The waffles were a little too thick and the filling was a bit dry. I probably won't make them again.

I've made these sandwiches several times now and they are always a hit! I love that I can use up leftover ham and cheese. The waffles make them extra special.

These sandwiches were a disappointment. The waffles were dry and the filling was bland. I won't be making these again.
