Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, salted
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup half-and-half or 1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
salt
fresh ground black pepper
8 slices bread
3/4 lb baked ham, thinly sliced (Virginia ham is good)
2 cups shredded gruyere cheese

Steps:

  • Heat a large pan or griddle over med-low to medium heat.
  • Heat a small saucepan over medium heat; add in 2 tablespoons butter and melt.
  • Whisk flour into butter and cook 1 minute; then whisk in the half-and-half.
  • Add in dijon mustard, nutmeg, salt, and pepper; cook for 2 minutes to thicken; remove from heat.
  • Spread bread slices with the sauce and make sandwiches, using a couple of folded slices of ham per sandwich.
  • Spread the remaining 2 tablespoons butter lightly across the outside faces of each sandwich.
  • Spread the shredded cheese across a plate and gently press each side of the sandwiches into the cheese, then place on the hot pan or griddle.
  • The cheese will brown and form a crisp coating as the sandwich cooks and heats through.
  • cook for 3 minutes on each side, or until evenly golden.

This recipe was a complete disaster. The béchamel sauce was lumpy and the bread was burnt.

The bread was a little too soggy for my liking. I think I would toast it for a bit longer next time.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I would add more salt and pepper to the béchamel sauce next time.

This was a delicious and easy-to-make sandwich. I used Gruyère cheese instead of Emmental and it was still great.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and always turns out great. I usually add a little bit of Dijon mustard to the béchamel sauce for an extra kick.

This croque monsieur was a hit with my family! The combination of ham, cheese, and béchamel sauce was perfect, and the bread was toasted to perfection. I will definitely be making this again.
