The first documented reference to a "Monte Cristo Sandwich" was in an American restaurant industry publication in 1923. [1] From the 1930s to the 1960s, American cookbooks commonly had recipes for similar croque monsieur variants, under such names as "French sandwich", "toasted ham sandwich", and "French toasted cheese sandwich ".
