CROQUE MONSIEUR (FRENCH HOT HAM AND CHEESE SANDWICH)

Croque Monsieur (French hot ham and cheese sandwich) image

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 ....
