Croque monsieur — sándwich francés de jamón y queso
The deluxe French café toastie: ham between buttery bread, blanketed in a nutmeg-scented béchamel and grated Gruyère, then baked until bubbling and golden. Far more than a ham-and-cheese sandwich — the creamy sauce and grilled cheese crust make it a Parisian brasserie classic. Top it with a fried egg and it becomes a croque madame.
