Croque-Madame

Every now and then, a good sandwich hits the spot. Of course I'm not talking about one you put together in a minute. This week, I want to share two warm sandwiches.


For each sandwich

Softened Butter

2 think sliced thick firm sandwich bread

Sliced Gruyére cheese

Top-quality mustard (for a twist, use Creole mustard)

2 ounces sliced smoked ham

1 egg, fried in a little butter and sprinkled with salt and pepper


Place a small heavy skillet over medium heat; preheat broiler

Butter one side of a piece of bread; cover the other side with cheese and pace under the broiler until cheese is melted. Top melted cheese with ham. Butter 1 ice of the other piece of bread with remaining butter; spread the other side with mustard and place mustard-side down, atop ham. Transfer to hot skillet and grill, watching carefully, until bread is browned, flip and grill other side. Top with fried egg and serve at once.


Enjoy!!!

Creole & Cajun Comfort Food is now available online.

Good Cooking, Good Eating and Good Living!!!
