Croque Monsieur

Published September 19, 2005

This is not quite the correct method for making Croque Monsieur, but it is really tasty, and very quick to make. If you wish to make more or less, just modify the quantities accordingly. I think it should be an early entry for the EoMEoTE.

Ingredients

8 slices bread
6 eggs
100ml milk
8 slices ham
Salt and pepper to taste
Herbs de Provence
Grated Emmenthal & chedder cheese (enough to cover the bread)

Directions

Place the bread on a greased baking tray
Put a slice of ham onto each piece of bread
Cover the bread with cheese
Wisk the eggs and milk (as for scrambled eggs), adding salt and pepper to taste
Pour the egg mixture onto the bread, ensuring that you cover well
Sprinkle with Herbs de Provence
Leave for about 10 minutes – to allow for the egg mixture to sink into the bread
Grill on high for about 10 minutes until it is nice and brown
Serve hot
