Croque Monsieur & Croque Madame | Simple French Breakfast at Home

Описание: Today I’m making Croque Monsieur and Croque Madame.
They sound fancy, but honestly — this is just a very simple,
very good breakfast with bread, cheese, and ham.

One sandwich with an egg on top, one without.
Same base, completely different feeling.

This is episode four of my Magical Breakfast & Brunch series,
where I try to make mornings feel a little more special,
without making things complicated.

Recipe is below ↓


Serves: 2 sandwiches

Ingredients
• 2 slices white sandwich bread
• Butter, room temperature
• 1 slice ham
• 20 g Gruyère, grated (or Emmental)
• 20 g Parmesan, grated
• 30 g sour cream
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• Small pinch nutmeg
• Black pepper
• 1 egg
• Neutral oil, for frying

How to make
1. Preheat oven to 390°F / 200°C.
2. Butter the bread on one side and place on a tray, butter side down.
3. Mix cheeses, sour cream, Dijon, nutmeg, and black pepper.
4. Add ham to bread, spread cheese mixture on top.
5. Bake 10–12 minutes, until melted and golden.
6. Fry one egg until whites are set and yolk is runny.
7. Place egg on one sandwich — that’s Croque Madame.
The one without egg is Croque Monsieur.
8. Serve with a simple fresh salad.
