How to make Croque Madame Sandwich:
- Prepare the necessary ingredients. Milk is suitable for any fat content. Oil is best used with a fat content of at least 72%. Mustard should not be spicy. The French recipe uses Gruyere cheese, but other cheeses can be used.
- Melt some of the butter in a small frying pan or heavy bottomed saucepan. It is recommended to do this on low heat.
- When the butter has melted, add the flour. Mix thoroughly with a whisk. Keep it on fire for a bit.
- Slowly pour in the milk. Mix all the ingredients so that there are no lumps of flour left.
- Simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens, stirring constantly. If desired, you can add a small amount of salt.
- Prepare ingredients for making sandwiches.
- Spread two slices of white bread with soft butter. Apply a layer of mustard on top of the oil.
- Grate the cheese on a fine grater and add it to the bread.
- Lay slices of ham on a layer of grated cheese. If the slices are thin, then they can be folded in half.
- You can add a small amount of cheese on top of the ham. Cover with second piece of bread.
- Preheat oven to 180–200°C. Lay parchment on a baking sheet. Lay out the sandwiches.
- Send to the oven for about five to seven minutes. The bread should be golden brown and the cheese should be melted.
- While the sandwiches are baking, prepare the fried eggs. It is better to use a portion pan. On it, the scrambled eggs will turn out even. A regular sized pan will do. It is important that the yolk remains whole and liquid, and the protein is completely seized. Add salt and ground black pepper if desired.
