Yield Yield: 1 sandwich

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 slices home-style white bread
1 Tablespoons soft butter, or more if needed
2 or more slices Swiss cheese (such as Gruyère or Emmentaler) about 1/8 inch thick (enough to cover both bread slices)
several slices cooked chicken, about 1/8 inch thick (enough to cover one bread slice)
1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives
dashes of Tabasco sauce (optional)
Special Equipment
A cookie sheet or shallow-rimmed baking sheet, large enough to hold all the sandwiches at once

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Spread a thin layer of soft butter on one side only of both bread slices, then cover the buttered sides neatly with a layer of cheese. Arrange a layer of chicken on one bread slice and sprinkle on the chives and a few dashes of Tabasco, if you like. Flip the other piece of bread over on top (cheese inside, of course), press together, and spread more butter on the outsides of the sandwich, coating the slices evenly. Lay the assembled sandwich in the baking dish and prepare others the same way.
  • Bake the sandwiches for 10 minutes or so, until the bottom sides are crisp and golden. Flip them over and bake for about 5 minutes more, until the second sides are also well toasted.
  • Serve hot. For appetizer portions, trim off the crusts and cut each sandwich diagonally into 4 small triangles.

This was a delicious and easy recipe to follow. I made it for my family and they loved it. The béchamel sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the ham and cheese were melted to perfection. I will definitely be making this again!

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy brunch. The béchamel sauce is simple to make and the ham and cheese are always a hit. I like to serve this with a side of fruit salad or yogurt.

I'm not a huge fan of béchamel sauce, but this recipe was still really good. The ham and cheese were flavorful and the fried egg added a nice touch of richness. I would definitely make this again, but I might try a different sauce next time.

This recipe was easy to follow and the croque madame turned out great! I used Gruyère cheese instead of Emmental and it was still delicious. I served it with a side of fruit salad and it was a perfect brunch.
