    The Classic French Bistro Sandwich – Croque Monsieur, My two versions of this classic French caf/bistro sandwich – oven baked for large quantities and ease or, the traditional frying pan/skillet method! You can always rely upon the French to add a certain je ne sais quoi to even the simplest food including the humble cheese and ham sandwich The croque-monsieur (which becomes a croque-madame if you top it with a fried egg) is a great favourite in French cafs & bistros, and there are as many methods of crafting it as there are cafs! This one works for me But, please be warned it’s not for calorie-counters, the Cholesterol Police or those of a nervous disposition!!, Delicious and simple to prepare! Baby Swiss cheese works very well also , Did I miss something? Classic croque monsieur includes bchamel sauce This is a ham sandwich

    Steps

    1
    Done

    Spread the Bread With Some of the Softened Butter, Make 4 Sandwiches, Each With One Slice of Ham and One Slice of Cheese. Press Them Firmly Together.

    2
    Done

    Beat the Eggs With the Water, Add the Salt and Pepper to Taste, and Dip the Sandwiches Into the Egg Mixture, Coating All Sides Well.

    3
    Done

    Heat the Rest of the Butter in a Heavy- Bottomed Frying Pan/Skillet, When It Has Melted and Is Very Hot - but not Brown, Fry the Sandwiches For About 5 - 8 Minutes, Turning Once.

    4
    Done

    Serve Immediately.

    5
    Done

    If You Prefer, Although It Is not Traditional, You May Place the Croque-Monsieur Into a Very Well-Buttered Baking Pan and Bake in a Moderately Hot Oven - 175c/350f - Turning Once, For About 10 to 15 Minutes. It Is Easier to Prepare a Larger Number This Way and Keep Them Warm Until You Are Ready to Serve Them.
