CROQUE MONSIEUR SANDWICH
Serves 2
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
4 slices good-quality sourdough bread
20g salted butter, softened
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
150g good-quality thick cut ham
60g Gruyere or vintage cheddar cheese, nely sliced
½ cup pre-made béchamel sauce
2 tbsp nely grated parmesan cheese
Cracked black pepper, to serve
Directions:
1. First, toast the bread: Brush each slice liberally with butter and place directly onto the wire
rack, butter side up. Set the temperature knob to toast and timer/toast knob to medium-
toast function. Toast until golden brown.
2. Line the oven baking tray with foil. Place 2 toast slices on the tray, buttered side down.
Spread each with 1 tablespoon of mustard, top each with ham and Gruyere cheese. Set
the temperate knob to grill and timer/toast knob for 5 minutes. Slide the tray onto the wire
rack in the toaster-oven and grill until the cheese melts.
3. Gently remove the hot tray from the oven. Place the other bread slices on top, butter side
up. Carefully cover each with béchamel sauce and parmesan. Return the tray to the oven.
Set the timer/toast knob for 5 minutes and grill until the tops are bubbling and golden.
Serve immediately with a good grinding of black pepper.
