DECADENT CROQUE MONSIEUR
This is a pretty amazing recipe for croque monsieur. I wouldn't say it's nowhere near healthy but wow, it sure is good. I got this from a friend who is friends with a rather famous chef-it's his recipe. I'm just passing it along to the masses. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Whisk in flour until blended but not colored, about 3 minutes. Gradually whisk in milk and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 10 minutes. Season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
- Assemble sandwiches: Place all 8 bread slices on a work surface in a single layer. Spread each slice evenly to the edges with Bechamel sauce; all the sauce may not be needed. Divide ham evenly between 4 of the bread slices, trimming if necessary so it is within 1/2 inch from the edges. Top all 8 slices with equal amounts of Gruyere cheese, spreading it evenly to within 1/4 inch of the edges.
- Lift the 4 bread slices with sauce and cheese and keeping the cheese facing up, place on top of the slices layered with ham. Transfer sandwiches to the prepared sheet pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until cheese topping is melted and golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.

[email protected]This was the worst croque monsieur I've ever had! The béchamel sauce was bland and tasteless, the ham was tough and chewy, and the cheese was rubbery. The bread was dry and crumbly. I do not recommend this recipe.

[email protected]I was disappointed with this recipe. The béchamel sauce was too thin and runny, and the bread was not crispy enough. The ham and cheese were also not very flavorful. I think I would have been better off ordering a croque monsieur from a restaurant.

[email protected]This croque monsieur was a bit too rich for my taste. The béchamel sauce was very heavy, and the ham and cheese were very salty. I think I would have liked it better if I had used less béchamel sauce and a milder cheese.
