If you want to see how to make a classic béchamel, I put a tutorial in this recipe for Pan-Seared Ribeye with Mahon Menorca and Pepper Cheese Sauce. The béchamel is a base for this sauce. You just substitute Gruyere cheese, instead of Menorca, and add some nutmeg, and less pepper. So what should be included in Classic Croque Monsieur? If however, you decide to forego the béchamel, then add a ton of shredded cheese on top of a sandwich and broil it until bubbly. I really like classic French recipes with ham and cheese. For example, these Ham and Cheese Crepes or Crepes with Ham, Egg, and Cheese are among my favorites. To make the spiced cream, whip the cream until quite stiff. Sift and stir in the icing sugar with the coffee extract and cardamom. Cover with cling film and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Using a piping bag, pipe the cream into the slit in each bun. Wipe away any excess and refrigerate the buns until ready to assemble.

To make the caramel, place the sugar in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over a medium heat. Heat until 154C when all the sugar will have dissolved and caramelised. (Move the saucepan around if it looks like one edge is darkening before the other and use a brush dipped in water to wipe away any crystals that form on the sides.)

More food for thought...

So, it’s no surprise that I also really like a good classic Croque Monsieur. You can find a number of different recipes online with some subtle variations. But I really like the classic one featured in my printable recipe below.

It’s important to use really good quality ingredients for this recipe, as the recipe is short & hard to hide an inferior ingredient with seasoning. Obviously, we are now a few weeks away from Easter (at the time I publish this recipe) and I think that this is a really good recipe to pin if you’re also giving some thought about your leftover ham. It would work fantastic in this recipe. History of the Grilled Cheese Sandwich". History of the Grilled Cheese Sandwich. Archived from the original on 8 March 2021 . Retrieved 6 February 2018.

Variants of the sandwich with substitutions or additional ingredients are given names modeled on the original croque-monsieur, for example:If making the chocolate sauce, smash up the chocolate and place in a heatproof glass bowl with the cream and a pinch of salt.

Yes, if you add tomato to it you’ll have a ‘Croque Provençal;’ if you use salmon instead of ham, you’ll have ‘Croque Norwegian.’
