This recipe is not worth your time. The croque monsieur was bland and boring.

I'm not a fan of béchamel sauce, so I made this recipe without it. It was still delicious!

This recipe is easy to follow and the results are delicious. I love that you can use any type of bread or cheese you like. I used sourdough bread and cheddar cheese, and it was perfect.
