Croque Monsieur
The croque monsieur first appeared on Parisian café menus in the early 20th century and remains a lunchtime staple across France to this day.
A classic French café sandwich of ham and melted Gruyère between grilled bread, topped with a golden layer of béchamel sauce — Parisian bistro comfort food.
Ingredients
Method
Make a béchamel by melting butter, stirring in flour, then gradually whisking in milk until thick.
Assemble sandwiches with ham and half the cheese between the bread slices.
Spread béchamel over the top of each sandwich and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
Grill until the top is bubbling and golden, about 8-10 minutes.
Whisk the béchamel constantly over low heat to avoid any lumps forming.
