Best Answer

It comes from the French sandwich,croque monsieur, which is made very similarly. Monte cristois is thought to be a tribute to the French novel The Count of Monte Christo by Alexander Dumas, and as such, the sandwich's name suggests its French origins.

This was my favorite book in high school, you should read it for sure.
