A Lighter Croque Monsieur image

Similar to a Monte Cristo, a croque monsieur is a French-style grilled ham and cheese sandwich that is dipped in egg batter and then cooked in a skillet. This version is more like stuffed French Toast than a sandwich. Keep the finished ones warm in a 200 degree oven while you're cooking the others. This recipe comes from The Best of Cooking Light.

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 slices French bread (1 1/2 ounce slices)
4 teaspoons honey mustard
6 ounces deli reduced-fat ham, thinly sliced
4 slices lowfat swiss cheese (1 ounce slices)
1/2 cup nonfat milk
3 large egg whites
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Cut a slit in each bread slice to form a pocket. Spread 1 teaspoon honey mustard into each bread pocket. Divide ham and cheese evenly among bread pockets.
  • Combine milk and egg whites in a shallow bowl, stirring with a whisk. Dip sandwiches, 1 at a time, in milk mixture, turning to coat.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add 2 sandwiches and cook 3 minutes on each side or until sandwiches are golden brown. Repeat the procedure with the remaining sandwiches.
