Steps:
- With a food processor running, drop in garlic until minced. Turn off machine, add tomatoes to processor and pulse until finely chopped.
- Place mixture in a fine sieve over a bowl, stir in salt and allow to drain 30 minutes, pressing down on tomatoes from time to time.
- Transfer tomatoes to a bowl, stir in basil and breadcrumbs and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Arrange half the bread slices on a work surface and spread with tomato mixture. Cover with a thin layer of cheese slices and top with remaining bread.
- Film a large skillet with oil. Place as many sandwiches as will fit comfortably in skillet and fry over medium heat, turning to fry both sides and pressing down lightly with a spatula, until golden on both sides. Remove sandwiches to paper towel to drain.
- Quarter sandwiches on the diagonal and serve, or place in a 200-degree oven to keep warm until ready to serve.

[email protected]I followed the recipe exactly, but my croque monsieur didn't turn out as crispy as I would have liked. I think I'll try frying the bread in butter next time.
Shahzaib Lakho
[email protected]This tomato croque monsieur was a bit too rich for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think it would be better with a lighter cheese, like mozzarella.

[email protected]I've tried many croque monsieur recipes before, but this one is by far the best. The tomato and cheese filling is so flavorful and gooey, and the bread is crispy and golden brown. I'll definitely be making this again soon.

[email protected]This tomato croque monsieur was an absolute delight! The combination of flavors and textures was perfect. The tomatoes added a wonderful freshness and acidity that balanced out the richness of the cheese and béchamel sauce. Definitely a keeper!
