Croque Monsieur
Report
Croque Monsieur is not your typical ham and cheese sandwich! It has dijon mustard, an egg coating, and is fried for a hot and melty dish.
Share:
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 8 lices firm white bread
- 4 lices Swiss cheese
- 8 lices deli ham
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 3 eggs
- ½ cup milk
Instructions
- Mix mayo and mustard in a small bowl. Spread onto 4 bread slices. Add cheese and ham to each bread slice. Place the other slice of bread on top of the ham.
- Meanwhile, whisk eggs and milk in a pie plate until well blended.
- Place butter in a skillet and melt.
- Dip each sandwich in egg mixture (make sure all sides are coated), then place in buttered pan. Fry until golden brown on both sides (a few minutes on each side).
Notes
- Recipe tips.
- Air fryer directions. Preheat the oven to 375-400°F. Prepare the sandwiches as directed, and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, then broil on each side for about 1-2 minutes, watching carefully so they don't burn.
- Prep ahead of time. You can assemble the sandwiches the day before and store them in an airtight container in the fridge. When ready, whisk the milk and egg, dip the sandwiches, and fry.
- Store leftovers in a Ziploc or wrap in tin foil. Keep them in the fridge for 2-3 days or freeze for 1-2 months. Reheat in the oven, toaster oven, skillet, or if you're in a hurry, use the microwave.
- We make sure all sides of the bread are coated with the milk mixture, but not soaked, otherwise the sandwich will get soggy.
- The key to a perfectly warm and crisp sandwich is using a sturdy bread like sourdough, brioche, or even a thick-cut sandwich bread.
- Mini sandwiches can be made using baguette bread.
- To make a Croque Madame, prepare as directed and then top the fried sandwich with a freshly fried egg, preferably with a runny yolk.
