Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons orange marmalade
2 tablespoons grated shallot
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar or white wine vinegar
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large heart romaine lettuce, cleaned and sliced 3/4-inch thick
1 large head or 2 small heads frisee lettuce
5 tablespoons butter
2 rounded tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
Grated nutmeg
8 slices good quality white bread
8 slices Gruyere
8 slices baked ham
3 whole eggs

Steps:

  • Preheat a griddle pan or cast iron skillet over medium heat.
  • Whisk together the marmalade, shallot, 1 tablespoon of the Dijon mustard and vinegar, in a small bowl. Add the extra-virgin olive oil in a slow stream, while whisking, and then season the dressing with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.
  • Combine the romaine with the frisee on large platter or in a shallow bowl.
  • Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter in a sauce pot over medium heat, then whisk in the flour, and cook for 1 minute. Whisk in 1 1/3 cups of the milk and cook until the mixture coats the back of a spoon, about 3 minutes. Season the sauce with salt, pepper and nutmeg, to taste. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of mustard and turn off the heat. Spread 4 slices of bread with the white sauce and top each with a slice of cheese, 2 slices folded ham, another slice of cheese. Spread the remaining bread with sauce and cover the sandwiches. Trim the crusts, if you prefer, then quarter the sandwiches.
  • Beat the eggs with the remaining milk in a shallow bowl and dip the sandwiches in the batter as you add them to the griddle. Wipe the griddle with butter nested in a paper towel before you start adding the sandwiches. Griddle the sandwiches until deep golden, about 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
  • Toss the salad with the dressing and divide it among 4 plates. Arrange 4 Croque Monsieur Monte Cristo croutons on top of each salad and serve.

Categories     Salad     Leafy Green     Broil     Vegetarian     Quick & Easy     Goat Cheese     Radish     Spring     Summer     Healthy     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons Sherry vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 shallot or green onion, minced
1/3 cup olive oil
1 small head curly endive, torn into bite-size pieces
1 bunch radishes, trimmed, thinly sliced
12 1/2-inch-thick slices French bread baguette
Olive oil
4 ounces soft fresh goat cheese (such as Montrachet)

Steps:

  • Combine vinegar, mustard and shallot in small bowl. Whisk in 1/3 cup oil. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper. Combine endive and radishes in large bowl. (Can be prepared 4 hours ahead. Cover salad with damp towel and refrigerate. Cover dressing and let stand at room temperature.)
  • Preheat broiler. Broil 1 side of bread until golden brown. Brush second side with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Spread with goat cheese. Season with pepper. Broil until bread is brown. Cut each slice into quarters.
  • Add dressing to salad and toss to coat. Divide among plates. Top with croutons and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use good quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the salad will be. Look for fresh, flavorful produce and high-quality olive oil.
  • Make the croutons ahead of time: This will give them time to dry out and become crispy. You can make them up to a week in advance and store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
  • Toast the spices for the spicy olives: This will bring out their flavor and make them more aromatic.
  • Use a light hand with the dressing: You don't want to overwhelm the salad with too much dressing. A little goes a long way.
  • Serve the salad immediately: Frisée is a delicate green that wilts easily, so it's best to serve it as soon as it's made.

Conclusion:
