French Food Friday - Croque monsieur chèvre et jambon

 

TGIF, it has been a long and busy week. We are looking forward to the weekend.

Goat's cheese is one of my favourite French cheeses and thankfully we can now buy a sliced version which is perfect for toasted sandwiches. 

This week I am sharing a recipe from the manufacturer of our favourite sliced goat cheese.

Goat Cheese and Ham Croque Monsieur

Serves:4

Preparation Time:5 minutes

Cooking Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

8 slices of Goat Cheese

4 slices of ham

8 slices of wholemeal bread

Butter

Green Salad

To transform this recipe into a croque-madame, add a fried egg on top after cooking the croque-monsieur. For an even more indulgent touch, use a runny egg yolk and sprinkle with a pinch of Espelette pepper or fresh herbs.

Methods:

1.Spread one side of each slice of bread with butter. On the buttered side, place a slice of goat cheese, then the ham, and another slice of goat cheese. Cover with the second slice of bread, buttered side down, goat cheese side down.

2. Add a knob of butter to each outer side for easier removal and a more tender texture.

3. Bake the goat cheese croque in a toasted sandwich maker until golden brown and the cheese is slightly oozing. Without a toasted sandwich maker, brown the croque in the oven using the grill.

4. Enjoy the croque with a green salad. For a better presentation, cut it in half diagonally.

Bon appetit a tous ♥
