Batch 13 had one on the menu when I was there recently.
Doesn’t look quite as awesome as the Bennigans one was.

i'm tempted to go on a deep frying binge and try doing this to a few different sandwiches.

I had a couple of those at Bennigan's many years ago. I've had it at Cheddar's at least once and remember it being good.
More recently, I've had it a few times at Katz Deli and always hits the spot (usually on Saturday at mid-morning/brunch time). The last time that I went, I added some of the Katz beef bacon (got it as a side) to the Monte Christo and was a worthy upgrade.

When I lived in Shreveport for a short stint and worked at the Pickle Barrel, we made Monte Cristo’s. Loved those things! My preference was without the powdered sugar add syrup or jam and ate it like a sandwich.

Is 9 slices of bread right? It has 9 slices of bread and only 3 slices of turkey?
That should be 3 right? Or am I out of my mind

Yes, 9 slices of bread is correct in that recipe. The directions to follow says it’s a triple decker. So one slice of meat each per sandwich.
The MC we made was only 2 slices of bread. I would recommend using Texas toast.
