Croque monsieur
Leave it to France to turn the basic ham-and-cheese into a culinary masterpiece, with excellent quality bread, gruyere, and Dijon mustard.
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 6 slices (about 6 oz) Gruyère cheese
- 4 oz sliced deli ham
- 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
Method
- Spread the mustard evenly on one side of all slices of the bread.
- To the mustard-spread side of each piece of bread, add 1 slice of Gruyère and one slice of ham. (Save the remaining 2 slices of cheese for later.)
- Turn on the Everything Maker and let it preheat until the green READY light turns on, about 3 minutes.
- Open the lid and add the butter to the cooking plate, spreading it with a silicone spatula as it melts to grease the entire cooking plate.
- Add all 4 pieces of bread to the cooking plate, ham and cheese side up. Close the lid.
- Cook until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
- Open the Everything Maker and, using a spatula, carefully flip 2 slices of bread onto the other 2 slices to close the sandwiches.
- Top each sandwich with 1 slice of Gruyère and sprinkle thyme on top.
- Close the lid and continue to cook until the cheese on top is melted, about 1 minute.
- Open the Everything Maker and carefully transfer the croque monsieurs to plates. Serve hot. VARIATION: To turn a croque monsieur into the equally beloved croque madame, top each sandwich with a fried egg. You can cook the eggs in the Everything Maker just after finishing the sandwiches.
