Croque-Madame
My son and I love having a croque-madame (a fried egg atop our grilled ham and cheese) for lunch. If eggs aren't your favorite, you can make the sandwich without it (which makes it a croque-monsieur). —Carolyn Turner, Reno, Nevada
Ingredients
- 1 pound thinly sliced Gruyere cheese, divided
- 16 slices sourdough bread
- 1-1/2 pounds thinly sliced deli ham
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 4 to 6 tablespoons mayonnaise
- EGGS:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 8 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Directions
- 1. Preheat oven to 400°. Place half the cheese on 8 bread slices; top with ham and remaining bread. Spread outsides of sandwiches with softened butter.
- 2. On a griddle, toast sandwiches over medium heat 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Spread tops with mayonnaise; top with remaining cheese. Transfer to an ungreased baking sheet; bake 4-5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
- 3. Meanwhile, for eggs, heat 1 tablespoon butter on griddle over medium-high heat. Break 4 eggs, 1 at a time, onto griddle. Reduce heat to low. Cook to desired doneness, turning once after whites are set if desired. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place eggs over 4 sandwiches. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
