CROQUE MONSIEUR
by: The Food Nanny


* 1 tablespoon butter
* 1 tablespoon flour
* 3/4 cup milk
* Pinch each salt, pepper, and nutmeg
* 8 slices French, Italian, or
* sourdough French bread,
* about 1/2 inch thick
* 4 (1/8 inch-thick) slices deli ham
* 8 to 10 ounces Gruyère cheese,
* shredded (2 to 21/2 cups) divided
* Softened butter, for buttering the bread

1. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour
and cook and stir until bubbly. Add the milk all at once and cook, stirring
constantly, until the sauce thickens. Add the salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
Remove from the heat.
2. Place 4 bread slices on a baking sheet. Top each with a slice of ham and
about 1/4 cup Gruyère. Top with the remaining bread.
3. Preheat the broiler to low broil and adjust a rack to 6 inches from the heat.
Butter the sandwiches on both sides (outsides). Place them under the broiler
until deep golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Watch closely to prevent
burning.
4. Spoon one-fourth of the sauce (about 3 tablespoons) over each sandwich.
Top each one with 1/4 cup of the remaining cheese. Broil until the cheese
begins to brown, about 2 minutes.
Serve the sandwiches with a green
salad or fruit platter.

Variation: Croque Madame
Fry an egg over-easy in a small skillet
and place the fried egg on top of
the sandwich as soon as it comes out
of the oven. This is how I see most
French people eat this sandwich.
