    Croque-Monsieur (4)

    Servings: 4
    Preparation time: 20 minutes

    Ingredients

    For the sandwiches:
  • 8 slices of white bread
  • 4 slices of cooked ham (best choices are French or Virginia ham)
  • 4 slices of Swiss cheese


  • For the mixture
  • 1 cup of whole milk
  • 2 egg yolks
  • Salt and pepper
  • Directions:

    In a large bowl pour the whole milk, egg yolks, salt and pepper, and mix with a fork to break yolks and obtain a uniform cream color.
    Prepare the sandwiches by putting the ham and cheese between two slices of bread. Heat a frying pan with 1 tablespoon of oil to prevent the bread from sticking.
    Using a spatula dip each face of the sandwich for 3 seconds in the mixture (soak each face for a few millimeters only) and place it immediately in the hot frying pan.
    Cook on medium heat and flip the sandwich every minute. Repeat 4 times (cook each face twice).
    When ready, serve immediately with a salad.
    It is so easy to cook and so good!
