Best French Onion Soup With Grilled Ham Cheese Sandwich French Style Recipes
CROQUE MONSIEUR (FRENCH HOT HAM AND CHEESE SANDWICH)
Recipe video above. Unapologetically calorific, this is the famous French hot ham and cheese sandwich! If you want to make it the traditional way, do not skimp on cheese or butter, and do not even think about using low fat anything. ????While it's thought of as a brunch/breakfast, Croque Monsieur is typically served as lunch in France with a side of fries and simple salad.Truly one of the greatest sandwiches in the world, one that I say everyone should experience at least once in their lives ....

Steps:
- Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until the slices start to wilt and turn translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the onion soup mix, thyme and 2 tablespoons water. Turn the heat to low, then continue to cook, stirring and adding more water a tablespoon at a time if the mixture gets too dry, until the onions are very soft and golden brown, 5 to 10 more minutes.
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a saute pan over medium heat. Spread 1 teaspoon mustard onto one side of each slice of bread. Divide the Cheddar, Gruyere, caramelized onions and crispy onions between 2 of the slices of bread on top of the mustard. Top each with another slice of bread, mustard-side in, and lay the sandwiches in the pan. Cook, pressing down on top of the sandwiches, until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter to the pan and flip the sandwiches, cooking until the cheese is melted and the bottoms are golden brown, about 3 more minutes. Cut in half and serve.

one of Top Chef judge Tom Colicchio's sandwich'es from his Wichcraft restaurant. Add lettuce, spinach or anything else you like but its great plain. caramelizing the onions takes time but worth it. (you can also do a double batch and freeze half for another time)

Steps:
- Over a medium-high flame, heat the oil and add the onions. Cook them slowly (make sure the heat is high enough that they don't steam) and allow them to gently caramelize, about 30 minutes. Add salt, pepper, and the butter at the end to season.
- Assemble the sandwich. On a slice of rye, layer cheese, onions, and a second layer of cheese. Cover with the second slice of rye. Place on a panini grill and press. Sandwich is ready when the cheese has melted.
FRENCH ONION SOUP WITH GRILLED HAM & CHEESE SANDWICH- FRENCH STYLE
Just a little note. The French call this sandwich a Mr. or a Mrs. Croque Monsieur due to the fact that there is a fried egg on top of the sandwich. Fried egg is a Mrs. & no fried egg is a Mr. I prefer mine as a Mr. This is very quick to make if you prepare everything in advance. Hope you enjoy it.

Steps:
- 1. SOUP: In a heavy large pot heat 3T of veg oil and add the onions. Caramelize the onions for about 20 minutes with. Don't forget to stir in the 20 minutes. When the onions are caramelize add the beef stock, bay leaf, garlic, dried thyme and bring to boil for another 20 minutes. While it comes to a boil get your bowls ready and the broiler ready. Make sure that the bowls you use are clay or even metal. NEVER USE PLASTIC!! Place the bowls on a heavy duty baking sheet lined with foil. Turn on your broiler, over 500 degrees. When the soup comes to a boil. Stir and add black pepper and salt to taste. Ladle into the prepared bowls. Heat a frying pan big enough to hold all the slices on french bread. Add the one buttered side to the hot pan. Toast till lightly brown & place on the soup in the bowls, toast side up. Add the cheese as much as you want. Repeat till all the bowls of soup are done. Place in broiler for about 5 minutes till cheese it melted. Bring out, carefully to not to spill. Let sit for another 5 min. Ready to serve. Enjoy!!
- 2. SANDWICH: Place both slices, buttered side down, on a heated frying pan. Layer each side with your choice of cheese and place 4 slices of ham on both sides. Heat for about a minute, then fold over to make the sandwich. Place on a small baking sheet, spread Aioli over the top and add the fried egg (opt) with more cheese. Place in broiler for about 5 min, till cheese in melted. Serve. Enjoy.
- 3. Aioli 2 egg yolks 2 T dijon mustard salt & pepper extra virgin olive oil, about 1/2 C - 3/4 C Add all the ingredients to a steal bowl, except the oil. Whisk till frothy. The easiest way to whisk so the bowl does not move is to wet a dish towel and twist and make into a circle. Place the bowl in the middle of the circle and press down. The bowl should not move. With the oil in one hand and the whisk in another, drizzle oil into bowl and whisk at the same time to make the sauce thicken. This is a basic recipe for mayonnaise. At this point you can add anything.... wasabi, hot mustard, herbs, roasted onions, roasted garlic, horse radish, gherkins....... the list is endless.
