(A Monsieur, made better!)

Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons butter, divided
1 rounded tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
Salt and pepper
1/8 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg, eyeball it
2 teaspoons Dijon style mustard
2 slices white bread
2 large eggs
4 slices deli ham
4 slices deli Swiss cheese
Chopped parsley leaves, chives or thyme leaves, for garnish - choose from any or all on hand

Steps:

  • Place a small sauce pot over medium low heat and melt 2 tablespoons butter in it. Whisk in a rounded tablespoon of flour and cook 1 minute or so. Whisk in milk and bring to a bubble then drop heat to low. Season the sauce with salt, pepper, nutmeg and Dijon. When sauce coats back of a spoon, turn off heat.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in each of 2 medium nonstick skillets, both over medium low heat. When butter melts add 2 large eggs to the first skillet, keeping the whites separate from each other. To the second skillet add 2 slices bread and toast lightly on first side then turn the bread. Top turned bread liberally with sauce and 2 slices of the ham and the Swiss cheese on each slice of bread. Use a spatula to transfer the eggs to the tops of the open faced sandwiches. Cover the pan with foil and turn off heat. Let pan stand 5 minutes to melt cheese and set sauce and eggs.
  • Top sandwiches with chopped herb or herbs of choice and serve. Spoon any leftover sauce over top of the eggs before garnishing.

I'm not a huge fan of béchamel sauce, but this recipe changed my mind. The sauce was so smooth and creamy, and it paired perfectly with the cheese and ham.

I've tried this recipe a few times and I've never been able to get it right. I think I'm just not a good cook.

This recipe was a disaster! The croque madame was soggy and the egg was undercooked.

I wasn't a fan of this croque madame. The béchamel sauce was too thick and the cheese was too overpowering.

This croque madame was a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still good. I think I'll try using less butter next time.

This croque madame recipe was incredibly delicious! The béchamel sauce was smooth and creamy, the cheese melted perfectly, and the ham was savory and salty. The egg on top added a rich and yolky flavor that tied everything together.
