Time 30m

Yield 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups hot milk
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 pinch nutmeg
12 ounces gruyere, grated (5 cups)
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
16 slices white bread, crusts removed
Dijon mustard
8 ounces baked virginia ham, sliced but not paper thin

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Melt the butter over low heat in a small saucepan and add the flour all at once, stirring with a wooden spoon for 2 minutes. Slowly pour the hot milk into the butter-flour mixture and cook, whisking constantly, until the sauce is thickened. Off the heat add the salt, pepper, nutmeg, 1/2 cup grated Gruyere, and the Parmesan and set aside.
  • To toast the bread, place the slices on 2 baking sheets and bake for 5 minutes. Turn each slice and bake for another 2 minutes, until toasted.
  • Lightly brush half the toasted breads with mustard, add a slice of ham to each, and sprinkle with half the remaining Gruyere. Top with another piece of toasted bread. Slather the tops with the cheese sauce, sprinkle with the remaining Gruyere, and bake the sandwiches for 5 minutes. Turn on the broiler and broil for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the topping is bubbly and lightly browned. Serve hot.

I would not recommend this recipe. My croque monsieur was dry and bland.

This recipe was a disaster! The croque monsieur was burnt and the cheese was rubbery. I don't recommend this recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my croque monsieur didn't turn out as good as I hoped. The cheese wasn't melted all the way and the bread was a bit soggy.

This croque monsieur recipe was incredibly easy to follow and the results were fantastic! The sandwich was crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside, with the perfect amount of cheese. It was the perfect comfort food for a cold night.
