How to make croque monsieur:
Ingredients:
- Good quality sliced bread
- 2 tbsp (30g) butter, plus a bit more for buttering the bread
- 1 tbsp (20g) of flour
- 1 cup (240g) whole milk and
- About 1 ½ (50g) cup of grated cheese, we’re using gruyere
- Sliced deli meat, traditionally this would be ham but we’re using turkey in our recipe
- 1 tbsp truffle paste (optional)
Method:
- Butter both sides of your bread and toast them in a pan or in the oven until they just start to get some brown color
- Make the bechamel sauce (cheese sauce): Melt the butter in a pot on medium heat, then add the flour and whisk to combine.
- Slowly add the milk while whisking.
- Finally, add in about half of the grated cheese, and whisk it all together until you have a smooth sauce. This will make enough sauce for 2 sandwiches.
- Place one slice of bread on a baking sheet.
- Spoon a bit of the sauce on top of the bread.
- Add some grated cheese on top, followed by the sliced meat, and the truffle sauce if you are using it.
- Add a bit more grated cheese and top with the other slice of bread.
- Spoon additional sauce on top of the entire thing.
- And to finish, add more greeted cheese on top.
- Place the sandwich on a baking sheet in the oven on the broil setting for 3-5 minutes, until the cheese on top gets bubbly and starts to brown.
- Remove your sandwich from the oven, and be careful as it is going to be bubbling hot.
- Serve with cornichons or a small salad, and enjoy!

Right!? It sounds so fancy but it's basically a grilled cheese!
