What is Croque Monsieur?
Croque Monsieur is France’s version of a grilled ham and cheese sandwich—on steroids! This Parisian café classic starts with thick slices of bread layered with creamy béchamel sauce, Gruyère cheese, savory ham, a smear of Dijon, and even more melty cheese, then pan-fried and baked to golden bubbling perfection.
It’s indulgent, satisfying, irresistibly crispy, cheesy, and comforting—perfect for brunch, lunch, or an effortlessly elegant dinner with a French twist!
