Technically a grilled ham and cheese sandwich, a Croque Monsieur is a must to have in ones repertoire - morning, noon or night. Originally served in 1910 as a fast food snack on the Boulevard des Capucines, it still remains as popular today.
Although I am sure my recipe for this classic snack is not original, it is one that I will never change. Somehow the mixture of cream, Gruyere cheese and Dijon mustard once melted transforms into a cheesy, sharp yet creamy sauce.
Pull this recipe out for a carefree yet delicious brunch, a fantastic midnight snack, or as a last result when the dinner you were planning is burnt to a crisp and your dinner companions just arrived at the door. Somehow a Croque Monsieur solves every problem.
Ingredients
4 slices crunch white bread
4-8 slices good quality smoked ham
8 tablespoons Gruyere cheese, grated
4-6 tablespoons cream
2 tablespoons mustard
Butter
Method
Mix the grated cheese, cream and mustard together to form a thick paste.
Toast one side of your slices of bread. Spread a thin layer of butter and one or two slices of ham on the untoasted side. Spread with the cheesy mixture and grill until golden and bubbly.
Serves 2 (as a snack)
To turn a Croque Monsieur into a Croque Madame simple add a fried egg on top!
Bon Appetite

That sounds decadently amazing. I'm going to match that with to a Bloody Mary soon. Drool.

Wow! What a coincidence. Yesterday, I asked my sister to make this Crooque monsieur for me, but she could not make it because she was too busy finding a business management dissertation writing service for her dissertation. Although she has promised, she will make it for me once she gets free from her dissertation.
