Notes

  • If you wanted a sweeter version, you could skip the honey mustard and use maple syrup instead.
  • For a sweeter version, you could also dust the top with powdered sugar.
  • You could substitute turkey or even add other toppings like grilled onions to the cups depending on what your regional Monte Cristo sandwich is.
