Yield Makes 2 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon flour
1 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
1 cup grated Gruyere cheese
4 slices white bread
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
3 ounces best-quality deli ham, thinly sliced
2 large eggs
Ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler with the rack in the top position. In small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter over high heat. Whisk in flour and cook until lightly golden. Add milk and salt and whisk constantly until mixture thickens, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir into the sauce the nutmeg and half the cheese.
  • Lay the slices of bread on a baking sheet. Divide the Dijon between 2 slices and top with ham. Divide half of the bechamel between the remaining 2 bread slices and top with remaining cheese. Close the sandwiches.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sandwiches and cook both sides until bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Return sandwiches to the baking sheet, top with remaining bechamel, and place under the broiler until bubbly, about 2 minutes. Meanwhile, melt remaining butter in the same skillet over high heat. Fry eggs, sunny side up, for about 2 minutes. Top sandwiches with fried egg, season with black pepper, and serve immediately.

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.

CROQUE-MADAME



Croque-Madame image

My son and I love having a croque-madame (a fried egg atop our grilled ham and cheese) for lunch. If eggs aren't your favorite, you can make the sandwich without it (which makes it a croque-monsieur). -Carolyn Turner, Reno, Nevada

Provided by CLUBFOODY

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 25m

Yield 2 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
3/4 cup milk (or as needed)
1 small pinch sea salt, ground
2 cups gruyere cheese, grated (and divided)
3 tablespoons milk
1/16 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon sea salt, ground (divided)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper (divided)
4 slices bread (such as French bread or Brioche)
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard (or as needed)
6 slices ham
1 tablespoon butter
2 large eggs, room temperature

Steps:

  • BÉCHAMEL SAUCE:.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, add butter. When melted, add flour and whisk for a few minutes to cook out the raw taste.
  • Add 2 tablespoons cold milk, and whisk constantly until the mixture gets thick. Add 1 tablespoons cold milk at a time, whisking between each addition. Continue adding milk until the consistency of the sauce gets creamy but not too thin so it's spreadable.
  • Transfer the sauce to a small bowl. Cover with plastic wrap making sure it touches the surface to prevent skin formation and chill for at least 20 minutes.
  • SANDWICHES:.
  • Preheat oven to 400ºF/200ºC and cover a baking sheet with foil; set aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine grated Gruyère, milk, nutmeg, salt and pepper; stir until cheese has absorbed the milk and set aside.
  • Spread a thin layer of chilled béchamel on two slices. Spread Dijon mustard on the other two. Place 3 slices of ham on the sauce before spreading on half of the cheese mixture. Cover with the other two slices, mustard side down and then press gently.
  • Spread the remaining béchamel sauce on top of those 2 slices. Add the remaining cheese and place the sandwiches on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Transfer to the preheated oven and bake until golden, about 10 to 12 minutes.
  • About 5 minutes before time is up, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. When melted and it starts sizzling, crack the eggs; season with salt and pepper.
  • After 2 minutes when the whites are almost set, cover and cook for just 30 seconds.
  • Place one cooked egg on each sandwich and serve immediately with a salad.
