Croque-Monsieur

I felt like having this when I came home from work.

A delicious oven-baked sandwich.
This is a version of a treat my mom made sometimes. She always baked it in the oven. I found some recipes similar, where they fry them in a pan. I'm sure it would work, but it wouldn't be like mom's.

WHAT YOU NEED:

- 2 slices of bread
- Some ham
- 2 slices of cheese. Whichever one you like. I recommend either Swiss or Mozzarella.
- 1 egg
- Honey Mustard (optional)


Pre-heat the oven at 350F

Spread the mustard over the bread.
Put the cheese over the slices of bread and add the ham. Close the sandwich

Scramble the egg with a fork in a bowl. Soak both sides of the closed sandwich in it.

In an oven-proof plate, put in the oven on the middle rack.

Leave for about 15 minutes. Just keep checking that it isn't burning and that the bread turns a nice golden colour.

Just out of the oven

When it's done, take out and enjoy!

Mmmmmmm! Tasty and warm!

  2. Awesome Darryl!
    Like Joe said to me, it's like making a sandwich with french toast. How can that go wrong?

    What did you do different?
