It’s the most luscious Ham & Cheese sandwich ever! Definitely our favorite. The guys loved them for lunch.
Don’t these ingredients look yummy?
Ingredients for Croque Monsieur. Sliced homemade bread, sliced ham, gruyere cheese, Herbs de Provence, mustard béchemel.
I followed Bon Appetit’s recipe for Croque Monsieur. So delicious!
I baked a loaf of bread the day before but the guys cut into it so I had to make the Croque Monsieur slices a little thinner. The mustard béchemel turned out perfect. The only mustard I had on hand had horseradish in it but that was great with the ham and gruyere. The herbs were from Penzey’s, Herb de Provence.
Four slices of bread were spread with the prepared béchemel.
Note: Tear two round ham slices in half to fit a square piece of bread.
Half of the cheese sprinkled over the ham.
The remaining four slices of bread were spread with more mustard béchemel and placed on the sandwiches.
The remaining cheese was scattered on top of the sandwiches.
Herbes de Provence sprinkled over tops of the sandwiches.
Baked for about 18 minutes at 425 F.
Croque Monsieur
The smell coming from the oven was sooo good… The cheese! The toasty bread! The herbes!
Oh I wish you could taste this Croque Monsieur hot from the oven!
The middle was all melty and soft and the bottom crusts with dripping cheese had a great crunch. Oh so delicous!
Please comment if you’ve ever had a Croque Monsieur sandwich. Did you like it? This will be our go-to sandwich when we have tomato or bean soup this winter.
