Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

A croque-monsieur is based upon an old cheese recipe. It is a favorite French street
sandwich, sold at both sidewalk kiosks and restaurants, which has a crusty exterior
stuffed with ham and Gruyere cheese.
¨ 8 slices of crust less white bread.
¨ 4 tbs heavy cream.
¨ 4 slices of Gruyère cheese (Order)
¨ 4 slices of ham.
¨ 2 eggs.
¨ 1 tbs Butter.
¨ Salt, pepper, herbs de Provence (Order)
Beat the 2 whole eggs in a container and add the cream, salt, pepper and herbs;
Dredge the bread in this mixture. Put 4 slices of the battered bread into a hot frying
pan and reduce the heat to simmer. Place 1 slice each of the cheese and the ham on
each slice of bread. Cap each build-up with a battered slice of bread;
Cover the pan and simmer on both sides until done, checking frequently about 10
minutes. You can make this recipe into one for a Croque-Madame by sautéing an
egg, sunny-side up, sprinkled with salt, pepper and herbs and placing it on top of the
Croque-Monsieur.
The above recipe can be deep fried by substituting about 54 g of grated Gruyère, for
the sliced cheese.
