A classic French breakfast sandwich, croque madame is made by topping toast with béchamel sauce and a fried egg after filling it with ham and cheese. A hearty choice from breakfast through brunch.
Melt the butter and add the flour. Cook for a few minutes, then gradually pour in the milk, whisking to make a smooth sauce.
Place the ham and cheese on the bread slices, spread béchamel on top and sprinkle over the remaining cheese.
Cook the toast in the oven or under the broiler until golden on top.
Fry an egg in a separate pan and place it on top of the toast. Serve right away.
Allergen: contains gluten, dairy products and egg. Important: Cook the béchamel over low heat, stirring constantly; the sauce may become lumpy if the flour is not cooked through. Without the egg on top, the dish is called croque monsieur.
