Madame Cristo - Grilled Ham and Cheese image

What started as a Croque Madame with custard instead of the usual white sauce turned into a Monte Cristo with a poached egg on top. Unable call it a Croque Madame anymore, I turned to Twitter for help. Some dude who goes by the name Zap Shakur suggested I go with Madame Cristo, and the rest is history. Top with poached or fried eggs and garnish with fresh chives.

Time 25m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 large eggs
½ cup heavy cream
½ teaspoon salt
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg
1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
4 slices white bread
8 thin slices Havarti cheese
4 ounces thinly sliced honey baked ham, halved
2 tablespoons butter
½ teaspoon champagne vinegar
2 eggs
1 pinch cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Combine egg, heavy cream or milk, salt, cayenne pepper, nutmeg, and lemon zest in a bowl. Mix until batter is thin and runny. (Add 2 tablespoons more milk or cream if needed.)
  • Toast bread until lightly browned. Add Havarti cheese to each slice. Divide ham between two sandwiches. Bring the two halves of the sandwich together and place into the batter. Flip several times to coat evenly; place on a plate. Repeat with second sandwich.
  • Fill a large saucepan with 2 inches of water and bring to a boil. In the meantime, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook sandwiches in the hot butter until outside is browned and cheese is melted, about 4 minutes per side.
  • Meanwhile, reduce saucepan heat to medium-low, pour in vinegar, and keep the water at a gentle simmer. Crack an egg into a small bowl, then gently slip it into the simmering water, holding the bowl just above the surface of water. Repeat with second egg. Cook until the egg white is firm and the yolk has thickened but is not hard, 2 1/2 to 3 minutes.
  • Transfer sandwiches to plates and dust with cayenne pepper. Remove the eggs from the water with a slotted spoon, dab on a kitchen towel to remove excess water, and place onto each sandwich. Dust with cayenne pepper.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Start with thick-cut ham and Swiss cheese, as well as fresh, flavorful bread. These ingredients will make a big difference in the overall taste of the sandwich.
  • Don't overcrowd the sandwich: Be careful not to overstuff the sandwich, or it will be difficult to cook and eat. Aim for a sandwich that is about 1 inch thick.
  • Cook the sandwich in a hot pan: Use a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. This will help to create a crispy, golden-brown exterior.
  • Flip the sandwich carefully: Once the bottom of the sandwich is golden brown, carefully flip it over using a spatula. Be careful not to break the sandwich apart.
  • Cook until the cheese is melted: Continue to cook the sandwich until the cheese is melted and gooey. This should take about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Serve immediately: Serve the sandwich immediately, while it is hot and crispy. You can garnish it with fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives.

The Ham n' Swiss Monte Cristo is a delicious and easy-to-make sandwich that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With its combination of sweet and savory flavors, this sandwich is sure to please everyone. Be sure to follow the tips above to make the best Monte Cristo sandwich possible.
