A Lighter Croque Monsieur image

Similar to a Monte Cristo, a croque monsieur is a French-style grilled ham and cheese sandwich that is dipped in egg batter and then cooked in a skillet. This version is more like stuffed French Toast than a sandwich. Keep the finished ones warm in a 200 degree oven while you're cooking the others. This recipe comes from The Best of Cooking Light.

Steps:

  • Cut a slit in each bread slice to form a pocket. Spread 1 teaspoon honey mustard into each bread pocket. Divide ham and cheese evenly among bread pockets.
