Steemit Sandwich Contest Week #67 | The Birdhouse Monte Cristo
Good day my Steemian Sandwich Elves!
Sandwiches! We all love sandwiches don’t we? Cold-hot, on bread-on lettuce, Breakfast-lunch- or dinner! Sandwiches come in all forms! Now that @jaybird is back from SteemFest3 he’ll be back to whipping up those breakfast, lunch and dinner sandwiches! Thanks to the King of sandwiches @jaybird for hosting this great contest. Glad you’re back!
This week I’m focusing on a little number which will satisfy the breakfast loving sandwich enthusiast!
The Birdhouse Monte Cristo!
Today’s sandwich is a variation of the traditional French sandwich called the “croquet-monsieur” (Mister Crunch). The “croquet-Madame (Mistress Crunch) is served with an egg. Aptly named “Crunch because it is often deep fried or pan fried.
Let’s start this show by Making Waffles! They're Gluten and diary-free
I mixed 1 ½ cup Gluten-free flour, ¾ cup Oats, 1 ½ tsp Baking Powder and a dash of Salt in a bowl. Set this aside and mix 1 ½ cup Almond milk with 1 teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar. Let this milk mixture sit for about 5 minutes then add ¼ cup Olive Oil, ¼ cup Maple Syrup and 1 tsp Vanilla.
Stir well and then mix the wet ingredients with the dry. I also added 1/3 cup Juice pulp from my breakfast juice this morning. Not necessary but I love to add the extra veggies and fruit to my waffles!
Now let’s make waffles! Go ahead, make them all…I just freeze the leftovers and this way Mr. Bird can grab a quick breakfast or snack!
Now the Fruit Compote!
While the waffles were cooking I made the raspberry/blueberry compote! Mix ¼ cup raspberries, ¼ cup fresh blueberries 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup and 2 tablespoons water in a saucepan. Let that simmer until the fruit begins to break down a bit. Then add 2 tablespoons Chia Seeds. Add a nice dash of Red Pepper flakes and let everything simmer until you have a nice thick jam! The kitchen smells yummy!
Slice 4 slices of your favorite Gouda Cheese and 4 slices of Hickory Smoked Organic Ham.
Beat 4 eggs with ½ cup Milk and now we’re ready to roll!
Time to Assemble!
- Place 2 tablespoons of fruit Compote on one Waffle, layer with Ham and Gouda.
- Spread ½ teaspoon Dijon Mustard on another Waffle. Place on top of first Waffle
- Dip the sandwich in the egg mixture (You know, like French toast!)
Melt your favorite non-dairy butter on a griddle and sauté each side for about 2 minutes or until golden brown.
Garnish with a little Organic Powdered Sugar and fresh Blueberries!
Truly a Bird’s-eye-View!
Enjoy, my Steemian Sandwich Lovers!

I'm on a little different diet (cough) but I could certainly enjoy this. It'd have to be on the weekend when I am a 'little' looser with my carb numbers. Wait. What day is this???

Have you ever been a stoner? Everything that comes out of your kitchen is pure gold. This take on a traditional croquet-monsieur/madame is out of this world.
And you don’t have to answer that question :)

Haha… it’s easy when you put out food like that 🤤
I love the mix of sweet and savory and waffles...one of my weaknesses. I just can't get enough of them. This is incredible @birdsinparadise. Mr. Bird is a very lucky man!
lol, yes me too! Can't make this little goodie too often ;) You are so sweet to stop by, I truly appreciate the kind words @loveself! Needless to say, I put the extra waffles in the freezer!
