Bread, ham, cheese... You have all the ingredients for a basic sandwich, but don't feel like eating the same old thing? Try this easy croque monsieur recipe or make it a croque madame by adding a fried egg on top!


Step 1/5

Cut the ham slices in half. In a bowl, mix the cheese, cream, mustard, and pepper.

Step 3/5

Close the 4 croque-monsieur by covering each with a slice of buttered sandwich bread, butter side in.

Place the croque-monsieur on a baking sheet. Spread the cream and cheese mixture evenly over each croque-monsieur. Bake for 8-10 minutes at 400°F.

Step 5/5

Serve hot alongside a nice green salad with dressing of your choice. Enjoy!

Tip

Do you prefer the traditional croque-monsieur with bechamel sauce? Add a layer of bechamel sauce, half a slice of ham, a slice of cheese and a second layer of bechamel sauce in this order before closing your sandwich.
