Croqu'sandwich

Product Information

Variants of the sandwich with substitutions or additional ingredients are given names modeled on the original croque-monsieur, for example: Place the butter, milk and sugar in a saucepan, pour over 330ml/11½fl oz water and add a pinch of salt. Slowly bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer until the butter has melted. Sift and stir in the flour until the mixture comes away from the sides and forms a ball. Beat for 30 seconds, then set aside to cool. Dictionnaire général pour la maîtrise de la langue française, la culture classique et contemporaine. Paris: Larousse. 1993. p.405. ISBN 2-03-320300-X.

Remove from the heat, add the flour and beat into a paste. Beat in the eggs, one by one, till smooth and combined. If you want to see how to make a classic béchamel, I put a tutorial in this recipe for Pan-Seared Ribeye with Mahon Menorca and Pepper Cheese Sauce. The béchamel is a base for this sauce. You just substitute Gruyere cheese, instead of Menorca, and add some nutmeg, and less pepper. So what should be included in Classic Croque Monsieur? Turn up the oven to 200°C fan/gas 7 and line a baking tray with foil or compostable baking paper. Next, heat the grill, butter the bread on one side and toast it buttered-side up until golden. If you love grilled cheese sandwiches, you’ll love this elevated ham and cheese sandwich. Please let me know if you like Croque Monsieur or Madam or Provençal or Norwegian, I’m curious…. It’s important to use really good quality ingredients for this recipe, as the recipe is short & hard to hide an inferior ingredient with seasoning. Obviously, we are now a few weeks away from Easter (at the time I publish this recipe) and I think that this is a really good recipe to pin if you’re also giving some thought about your leftover ham. It would work fantastic in this recipe.

Yes, if you add tomato to it you’ll have a ‘Croque Provençal;’ if you use salmon instead of ham, you’ll have ‘Croque Norwegian.’ Using a piping bag with a 1–1½cm/½–⅝in nozzle, pipe 3cm/1¼in diameter rounds on three to four baking trays (or cook in batches). Bake for 10 minutes, then turn down the heat to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4 and cook for 20–25 minutes. Make a small slit in the side of each bun, then bake for another 5 minutes. A croque monsieur ( French pronunciation: [kʁɔk məsjø]) is a hot sandwich made with ham and cheese. The name comes from the French words croque ("crunch") and monsieur ("gentleman").

You can find this popular French sandwich all over France. I’ve even heard that there are some governmental restrictions as to how to price Croque Monsieur, so it remains affordable for everyone. Pretty cool…This Classic Croque Monsieur Recipe is easy to prepare and is a taste emersion right to the middle of Paris. For this recipe you can use any type of ham; so by all means, feel free to use any leftovers that you may have from this Easter. A Monte Cristo is sort of like a combination of Croque Monsieur and French Toast. Ham and cheese sandwich is dipped in the egg and fried up on both sides. Nun geht es ans Belegen: 4 Brioche-Scheiben erst mit Senf, dann mit der fertigen Béchamelsauce bestreichen. Jetzt zwei Scheiben des gekochten Schinkens darüberlegen. Darauf kommt eine weitere Schicht Béchamelsauce sowie etwas von dem geriebenen Gruyère-Käse. Die zweite Brotscheibe darüberlegen und diese mit einer weiteren Schicht Sauce und geriebenem Käse krönen. Wash out the piping bag and nozzle, then spoon in the dulce de leche. Pipe the buns with dulce de leche, until just full. It might take a little practice, so don’t worry if you mess up a couple. Persevere, it’s worth it.
