Directions
Croque Madame Casserole – Paula Deen, I just saw Paula make this on the Bistro Brunch episode It’s like a very rich fried ham and cheese sandwich in a casserole She also used a larger dish on the show, I will use a 9X13 I think it would be fine without the nutmeg, a little of it goes a long way Also, some of the reviewers on the other site suggested a more sturdy bread, I will use a good artisan sour dough bread Make sure your ham is sliced thin and use unsalted butter I might even try it with cooked bacon I’m going to test it first and maybe serve for Christmas morning , I just saw Paula make this on the Bistro Brunch episode It’s like a very rich fried ham and cheese sandwich in a casserole She also used a larger dish on the show, I will use a 9X13 I think it would be fine without the nutmeg, a little of it goes a long way Also, some of the reviewers on the other site suggested a more sturdy bread, I will use a good artisan sour dough bread Make sure your ham is sliced thin and use unsalted butter I might even try it with cooked bacon I’m going to test it first and maybe serve for Christmas morning
