Time 35m

Yield Makes 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for bread
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup grated Gruyere cheese, plus 8 slices
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
8 thick slices rustic bread
12 slices ham
Dijon mustard, for bread

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour. Add milk; bring to a simmer. Cook, whisking frequently, until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Add grated cheeses. Whisk until melted and smooth.
  • Butter bread. Arrange half the slices, buttered side down, on a rimmed baking sheet. Top each with 2 slices Gruyere and 3 slices ham. Spread mustard onto unbuttered sides of remaining bread. Place on top of ham, buttered side up.
  • Preheat broiler. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Cook each sandwich until golden brown and cheese melts, about 5 minutes per side. Return to baking sheet. Spoon 1/3 cup sauce over top of each sandwich. Broil until tops are bubbling and golden brown, about 3 minutes.

This is the worst croque monsieur I've ever had. The bread was soggy and the cheese was rubbery. I would not recommend this recipe.

This recipe is missing some important steps. It doesn't say how to make the béchamel sauce or how to assemble the sandwich.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my croque monsieur didn't turn out as cheesy as I expected. I think I'll add more cheese next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my croque monsieur turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked it.

I'm not a big fan of béchamel sauce, so I omitted it from this recipe. It was still delicious!

I love the way this croque monsieur is made with sourdough bread. It gives it a nice tangy flavor.

This croque monsieur is the perfect comfort food. It's cheesy, gooey, and oh so satisfying. I especially love dipping it in a little bit of Dijon mustard.

I love how easy this recipe is to follow. I'm not a very experienced cook, but I was able to make this dish without any problems. It turned out great!

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