Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Assemble the sandwiches on a baking sheet by spreading 6 slices of bread with a scant amount of Dijon mustard. (If you like more Dijon flavor, add more; I like it to be subtle.) Top with the desired amount of ham and sprinkle with about a tablespoon of cheese. Top with the remaining bread slices.
- In a medium saucepan, heat the butter over medium heat until melted. Stir in the flour, creating a roux, and cook for about 4 minutes. Whisk in the milk and stir until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Add the nutmeg and 1 cup of Gruyere, and season with salt and pepper. Pour the mixture over the sandwiches. Top the sandwiches with equal amounts of the remaining cheese.
- Bake for 8 minutes. Turn on the broiler and broil until the sandwiches are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly, about 2 minutes (watch closely!). Top each sandwich with a fried egg and serve.

[email protected]I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my croque madame was a disaster. The bread was soggy and the cheese was rubbery. I'll have to try again.

[email protected]My croque madame turned out a bit dry. I think I should have added more butter to the pan when I was frying the bread.

[email protected]I'm not a fan of béchamel sauce, so I omitted it from the recipe. The croque madame was still delicious, but I think it would have been even better with the sauce.

[email protected]I had a hard time finding Gruyère cheese, so I used mozzarella instead. It turned out great! The mozzarella melted beautifully and gave the croque madame a gooey, stretchy texture.

[email protected]This croque madame was a bit too rich for my taste. The béchamel sauce was heavy and the fried egg made it even more so. I think I would prefer a croque monsieur next time.
