Croque-monsieur is a very classical dish in France, to eat with some salad or raw vegetables. This is a more elaborate version, though still very easy to make.

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Some time before (1 or 2 hours), crumble the vegetable stock and mix it with the cream so that it infuses.

  2. 2

    Start the recipe by mixing the cream + stock, grated cheese and half a teaspoon of grated nutmeg in a bowl. Add the beaten eggs. Season with freshly ground pepper (not too much, especially for children).

  3. 3

    Spread butter on one side of all bread slices.

  4. 4

    On 6 slices, place 1 slide of ham or chicken, then dispatch the slices of cheese. Then add another slice of bread (buttered side inside, in contact with the ingredients).

  5. 5

    Spread the cream + eggs + grated cheese mixture all over them.

  6. 6

    If you have some Parmesan cheese, grate some on top (yes, more cheese!!!).

  7. 7

    Cook in the oven (180 C) for about 15 minutes (remove when it's gratinated but don't let for too long otherwise they may become too dry).
