A Croque Madame is the perfect meal (or snack!) when you want something that’s super quick but doesn’t really feel like it. Ham, cheese, dijon mustard and a creamy bechamel makes a perfect croque monsieur but that sunny side egg on top makes this a rich, buttery queen that is the croque madame! I love this because it takes very little effort and is so good for brunch OR dinner! Here’s what you’ll need for 1:
Ingredients:
-2 Slices of bread toasted
-3-5 Slices of Smoked Ham (Depending on your preference as far as sandwich size. Try to avoid sweet, honey hams)
-2 Slices of aged Swiss, Emmental or Gruyere
-Grated Fontina (or parmesan) cheese
-2 tbsp of Trader Joe’s Aioli Garlic Mustard Sauce (Dijon mustard works fine)
-1 tbsp butter
-1 tbsp flour
-1/3 cup of heavy cream
– A pinch of garlic powder
-One large egg
-Salt and Pepper to taste
