A croque monsieur is what the Monte Cristo is based on in North America.
Dave is probably calling it that for the sake of this thread.

A Monte Cristo sandwich is delicious! I first tried one at The Half
Shell in Memphis, TN. Yeah, it was 25 years ago. Ham, turkey,
provolone cheese, bread dipped in batter and deep fried. Such a
sandwich should be a very rare indulgence.

I did have them hold the powdered sugar. They put the strawberry jam in
a souffle cup on the side, just in case. No waffles involved.
