Number Of Ingredients 10

5 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2/3 cup whole milk
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
8 slices white Pullman bread, or thinly sliced sandwich bread
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
5 ounces smoked salmon
1/4 cup small dill sprigs, plus more for garnish
2 cups grated Comte cheese
4 large eggs

Steps:

  • Make the bechamel sauce: Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a wide medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk in flour; cook, whisking, 30 seconds. Gradually whisk in milk; cook, whisking, until mixture comes to a boil and has thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Using remaining 4 tablespoons butter, butter 1 side of each piece of bread. Set aside 4 slices. Spread unbuttered sides of remaining 4 slices with mustard; top with salmon. Scatter dill over salmon. Top each with 1/4 cup cheese. Sandwich with remaining bread, buttered side up.
  • Preheat broiler. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add sandwiches; cook, turning once, until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Spread 2 tablespoons reserved bechamel sauce on top of each sandwich; sprinkle each with 1/4 cup remaining cheese. Broil until cheese is bubbling and golden brown.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Crack eggs into skillet. Cover, and cook until whites are set but yolks are still soft, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Place 1 egg on top of each sandwich, and serve.

I had some trouble making the béchamel sauce. It ended up being too thick. Other than that, the croque-madames were delicious.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my croque-madames didn't turn out very well. The eggs were overcooked and the cheese was too melted.

These croque-madames were a little too rich for my taste. The smoked salmon and cheese were a bit overpowering.
