This classic French sandwich brings together toasted bread, ham, creamy béchamel, and a perfectly fried egg for an elegant meal.
Croque Madame with ham is a delightful twist on the traditional French café favourite. The name 'Croque Madame' combines the French word 'croque,' meaning crunch, with 'madame,' meaning woman. This dish is thought to have earned this title because the fried egg on top resembles a woman's hat.
This indulgent sandwich starts with layers of buttery toasted bread, thinly sliced ham, and creamy béchamel sauce, all crowned with a golden, gooey fried egg. Ideal for breakfast or bunch, Croque Madame is easy to make and delivers a little taste of Parisian charm in every bite. Recipe compliments of Eskort. 30g Flour 4 Slices Bread Start by making the béchamel sauce. Melt the butter in a pan, when it bubbles, add in the flour and mix well to form a paste. Turn the heat down to low.
Place the sandwich in a cast iron skillet. Pour over some more béchamel and top with some more grated cheese. Pop it into the oven for 5-10 minutes until the cheese is bubbling, finish by grilling the sandwich to get a golden top. Chop some fresh chives and sprinkle over for garnishing.
