In addition to the classic ham-and-cheese pairing, Monte Cristo sandwiches usually have a sweet element, like powdered sugar sifted over the top, or raspberry jam served on the side for dipping. In this version, you’ll cook green apple and canned green chiles down into a sweet and spicy compote to slather on your bread; the recipe yields about 1 cup of jam, so you can use the leftovers in salad dressings, yogurt sauce, as a glaze for chicken or pork, or as a cheeseboard condiment.
