I absolutely love how humble he is, "It may get lumpy but just keep stirring it." or "Don't be afraid to put your emersion blender in there." or "This ham is fantastic its from Publix." He knows were not master chefs and are most likely just amateurs looking to spice up weekend dinners and he's not a snob to quick fixes and "cheats" to make our lives a little bit easier. He doesn't claim there's any one right way to do things and it makes me happy he's making high class recipes accessible to the average joe.
I made biscuits and gravy all the time when I was in trade school for us guys renting a house. One guy asked me how I made it. I explained making the sausage dripping roux then adding the milk. My comment was, "It will look like 3-day old cornflakes and milk but just keep stirring while you get it up to a simmer and it will be alright." He thought I was nuts then one of the other guys who saw me make it many times just nodded his head in agreement. Julia Child always talked about the technique being more important than anything in cooking. Once you can make a mother sauce like béchamel, it can be transformed into anything and almost any fat can be the base for the roux. That's one of the great things about cooking that I have learned over 60 years. High cuisine is almost always based upon simple kitchen recipes, techniques and made by "peasants" using what they could afford or in times of economic strife.
Chef, I can't tell you how much it warms my lonely heart watching you cook... I'm living away from family and friends and your warmth and pure love of what you do almost makes me feel like I'm at home again 🥺
I love how Chef Jean-Pierre twiddles his fingers in delight when he tastes his creations. He brings me joy every single time I watch his videos. Thank you Chef for sharing your joy!!!💞😋
@@anthonyparkinson5820 That's why I love watching his videos. He doesn't take himself so seriously. Plus, he encourages people to put there own twists on his recipes. I would love to watch him cook in person. A lot of chefs are too rigid and stuffy.
@Chef Jean-Pierre: After you mentioned that you watched Top Chef years ago I watch all seasons. Sir, there is no comparison to your show and the Top Chef. Yours is alive, full of interesting comments, warmth from the friendship you offer each of us, flourishing touches and smiles making us feel warm and secure in venturing into a recipe like Croque Monsieur. Thank you for being true to yourself. Top Chef is boring, your show is not.
yeah this is best show. He literally taught me how to cook... My wife said she wanted xyz and sent me recipe. I just used to ingredients from it and made it the way I thought JP would do it... it was great
@Ithecastic I feel the same way. When they come to my house for the meeting, I serve coffee and cookies too but at least I bake them from the package 😋😋😋😋😋
Huge shout out to the late and great Mrs. Brehier. Probably without her great cooking that influenced Jean-Pierre we would have never got these great recipes he's showing us today. 💓
Of all the delicious recipes chef has given us, this one literally has my mouth watering. I would drive to Ft. Lauderdale to eat this!!! If anyone would have told me that the highlight of my day would be watching a chef on UA-cam I'd have said they are crazy - but here I am always looking forward to Monday & Thursday! Thank you Chef JP!
I served this to my girlfriend for breakfast in bed, half way through eating she asked me to marry her. You are not just showing us how to cook, but how to Love. Thank you.🙂
J’ai pas mangé un vrai croque-monsieur depuis au moins 30 ans et certainement jamais avec une touche de brie a l’intérieur ! Ça doit être fabuleux. J’adore vos vidéos, vous êtes vraiment fantastique.
This channel is always so difficult. Makes my mouth water and a full smile at the same time. always drooling... ;-) I just love Chef JP! Be Well, everybody!
I'm so glad to have found Chef Jean-Pierre on here. I've been trying to make myself into a home chef, so I can prepare meals for my family instead of the typical boring stuff. He is very entertaining to watch and he really makes it simple to do. I've been making my shopping lists and saving his videos. Thanks for all the great videos and the free training you give us all. it is very appreciated.
I've been a home cook for decades, learned from my mother (an excellent cook). Yet, I'm still learning and love how Jean-Pierre teaches us his hard-won knowledge in such a delightful way. There are several other cooking channels I follow, but this one and Refika's Kitchen are definitely among my favorites. Refika's is about Turkish food, and I'd say she's as joyous and enthusiastic as Jean-Pierre ... while being her own person. If you like humus, she's got the best recipe for this that I've ever found, fluffy and creamy. As well as delicious falafel and simit (a kind of Turkish bagel, only a lot more crunchy). Lots of work, but not complicated and definitely worth it.
Oh my word, I just made Chef's mushroom sauce with his trick of getting the water out of the mushrooms-incredible!!!Can't wait to try this too. This guy has it all, dimple, accents(yup multiple), great recipes, great sense of humor, and a world class cute man-laugh. A joy to watch. I am going to turn into a very good cook!
@@judethaddeus9856you don't have to believe in it... But it does exist..... It's out there... Lurking around it in the ham-shadows of the night.... Onto my plate.. And into my bellyyyy! Lol. 😉 I support your decision and thank you, for it means more ham for me! (This is a very silly and light-hearted comment, meant to cause smiles, not to offend.)
I literally have stopped watching ALL OTHER cooking shows, PERIOD! Chef Jean Pierre is all I need. In fact, I need to purge out all my cookbooks, and just keep a few. On his recommendation, I recently ordered LAROUSSE GASTRONOMIQUE, and I'm glad I did. Fabulous reference guide on cooking. Thank you, Chef, for EVERYTHING you share with us. You are loved by all your followers. Virginia Fay, Danbury, Ct.
Lovely.....The cookie cutter being used to poach the egg is superb ..A perfect round and thickness ...And the yolks pouring down adds a vibrant splash of sunny yellow ..Sunnyside trickling down nicely to add a lovely melt texture to the baked sandwich...

You know Chef, you had me smiling at you so much during this. Your personality and much-loved humor shines through! To say nothing of the teaching you do that I always learn something from. We viewers are so lucky to have you to watch!
Like a "Sauce Hollandaise", if you don't mix it fast, you get a "Sauce Scrumbled Eggs." During my apprenticeship, i was the king of making scrumbled eggs, and it was not the breakfast... But now, i'll do my sandwich like yours. Thanks a lot for your videos.
Artsy, fun, elegant with a humble attitude. Each episode is like a short movie, I enjoyed each part of it. You definitely not only delivered a recipe, but also a lifestyle. Merci!! 👍
I made this today and the Mornay sauce is incredible. After buying everything and getting some stuff on sale, the sauce and ham set me back $40 CAD so I'm really hoping to get 10 or more sandwiches out of this. Either way it's worth every penny and will become one of my standard sauces.

Unbelievable! My mouth is watering. The ham and cheese sandwich you constructed confirms, French cooking methods while using basic ingredients is perfect. Thank you Chef Jean-Pierre! 🇺🇸👍❤️
@@MrClickity it's not just French cooking he does though; it's actually known as Classical French which is where the word Chef comes from. -The even have sauce specialists whose only role in the kitchen is to make fine sauces- the Saucier~!

Rest as much as possible, and have warm soups for dinner, that'll help you recover faster even if it isn't too bad. I got it twice, first time I thought I wasn't going to make it, second time was very mild, and resting is key! Good luck!
That is my all time favorite sandwich. I had one when I was in Paris and it was incredible. With your addition of the Mornay sauce, the sandwich reaches a new level. Well done JP!
Yeess!! Thank you so much, Chef Jean Pierre! I've been waiting for this one!! I love Croque Monsieur and you always surprise me with your simplicity and your efficiency!
I've just prepped this, waiting for my partner to come back and taste it together can't wait and thank you chef for your ability to make everything achievable.
What a wonderful recipe. Chef Jean Pierre has the best channel ever to teach us amateurs how prepare chef worthy recipes. I'd be willing to bet that a lot of chefs out there also watch this channel.
There are a lot of good young chefs out there in UA-cam world, but it's always a treat to see Jean Pierre's take on these dishes. Chef is old school and you have to love his way of doing things. The dude has been at it since 1976 and he knows a thing or two about food.
Once I found JP a few years ago not a single Chef except maybe a bit of Gordy now and then can hold a candle to him. He isn't old school; he's 100% authentic French Classical trained. Which is how he can easily own a 3 star Michelin restaurant or seven in his career. The young dudes couldn't do that in 4 life times.
What easy, tasy and fun recipes you provide. Thank you so much for sharing your recipes and expertise. We made this wonderful meal and in your own words: "you can never have too much cheese" is precisely a melody that rings in my family of cheese lovers ears
This is both the best, and most dangerous thing I have seen in weeks. My god, I can't imagine anything tastier or bad for my diet than this. Great work CJP! love how you can make a simple idea so good.
You are the first chef that taught cooking where I am actually feeling confident in the kitchen and it's wonderful! I made your creamy mushroom sauce and ladled it over some crepes, it seemed so easy I thought I was dreaming! And it was delicious of course ! :D
You are by far my most favorite chef on the internet, your enthousiasm is contagious, your skill is breathtaking. With you in the kitchen everything is easy!
The first time I had a Croque Monsieur was in the little cafe' across from Fontainebleau. It was one of the most memorable experiences that I had in France. It was my first trip to France and to Paris. I toured Fontainebleau and Versailles. I fell in love with France that summer. From there I spent a few days in the hunting country with friends. I've returned to France many times but I'll always remember my first Croque Monsieur like my first love! Thank you for reminding me of such fond experiences in my beloved France!
Ahh, my grandmother made this for us on weekends. Mmm, amazing. Thanks for bringing back a great sandwich and some wonderful memories. Thanks again Chef Jean-Pierre 😋
Great recipe, thanks! Mornay sauce is the Onyo of sauces. It taste delicious, and can be used for just about any dish with cheese. One of my favorite recipes for when I don't feel like cooking a lot, is mornay sauce with grated ham and pasta. Very simple, and very tasty.
Chef Jean-Pierre, your croque monsieur with all that cheesy goodness will now be made on a regular basis for my family. We are cheese lovers deluxe and love your quick and easy no mess-no-fuss delicious recipes, ready in no time. Juanita Dearlove
Chef Jean-Pierre, we fell in love with Mr. Crunchy sandwiches on our first trip to Paris in 1983. We have been making these at home for decades. Your recipe looks delicious, especially the brie! We spread some Dijon-style mustard on each slice of bread. We find that the acid cuts through the rich fattines. Also, we steep half an onion studded with 2 cloves in the milk along with a little grated nutmeg and a bay leaf. Not sure if its a better recipe, as you had requested, but it is delicious in its own right! Thanks for all of the great video demonstrations! We are sure its a lot of hard work, but clearly a labor of love.
I did it just now but with a slight deviation.... I put smoked turkey instead of ham because I don't like ham. I eat it but don't prefer it. It really turned out to be out of this world. THANK YOU for this delicious recipe 😋
Just watching him is so entertaining. Such a fabulous professional chef, yet so humble. He tells you you can do everything he can do. "it's so simple!" 👍👍
What I absolutely love about Chef JP is that he tells you WHY to do things. I've always seen people put the plastic wrap directly on sauces before, but this is absolutely the first time I've been told why.
Its like when you put Plastic Wrap on Top of Pudding or so, which also helps that it wont make a Skin on Top, but yeah while some People might know this, there are still the ones who dont know it, so its nice he mentions it.
@@Sheppart92 Exactly! I'm such a n00b when it comes to cooking - I can follow a recipe but I never know why to do anything in the order I'm told to do it, and I can't fix mistakes because I don't know what I was trying to do in the first place. Chef JP teaches in such a gentle manner that I now know why I'm putting those onions in first, why I'm adding salt to the mushrooms as they cook, and now I know why I put the cling wrap directly on the sauce lol
Thank you Monsieur! By accident I found this channel few days ago and instantly got hooked even though cooking has never been my thing. Your passion and the way of presentation is truly joyful to watch in every video. Compared to the sandwiches Im used to make in my oven, these were from another world (if you add a slice of tomato) 👌 Im gonna try much more of your recipes in the future. Thank you for this unexpected inspiration, greetings from Finland!
Good day Chef JP. Happy holidays to you and yours. I agree this is the best ever. I made it yesterday. I found brioche loaf style bread in my grocery store, used this. Used 1/2 pound ham per sandwich. The cheese sauce was better then I could ever imagined. Immersion blender made it smooth smooth smooth. I used sun dried tomatoes for the top under more sauce. Had a egg ontop for both sandwiches. Simply the best. Thanks Chef. You the MAN !!!!!!!!!!
I absolutely love how humble he is, "It may get lumpy but just keep stirring it." or "Don't be afraid to put your emersion blender in there." or "This ham is fantastic its from Publix."

What a wonderful recipe. Chef Jean Pierre has the best channel ever to teach us amateurs how prepare chef worthy recipes. I'd be willing to bet that a lot of chefs out there also watch this channel.
I LOVE all of his things❗️
His language, beautiful french behavior, cooking style, kindness…
👍
There are a lot of good young chefs out there in UA-cam world, but it's always a treat to see Jean Pierre's take on these dishes. Chef is old school and you have to love his way of doing things. The dude has been at it since 1976 and he knows a thing or two about food.
Once I found JP a few years ago not a single Chef except maybe a bit of Gordy now and then can hold a candle to him. He isn't old school; he's 100% authentic French Classical trained. Which is how he can easily own a 3 star Michelin restaurant or seven in his career. The young dudes couldn't do that in 4 life times.
always learn the classic way first, then you can modify and have fun.
I can't stand these guys with black gloves. I don't want to eat something that was in contact with rubber/latex yikes
@@axemanracing6222 It's very strange because some people are highly allergic to latex and eating it would be the worst way to come in contact with it.
What easy, tasy and fun recipes you provide. Thank you so much for sharing your recipes and expertise. We made this wonderful meal and in your own words: "you can never have too much cheese" is precisely a melody that rings in my family of cheese lovers ears
This is both the best, and most dangerous thing I have seen in weeks.
My god, I can't imagine anything tastier or bad for my diet than this.
Great work CJP! love how you can make a simple idea so good.
You are the first chef that taught cooking where I am actually feeling confident in the kitchen and it's wonderful! I made your creamy mushroom sauce and ladled it over some crepes, it seemed so easy I thought I was dreaming! And it was delicious of course ! :D
You are by far my most favorite chef on the internet, your enthousiasm is contagious, your skill is breathtaking. With you in the kitchen everything is easy!
The first time I had a Croque Monsieur was in the little cafe' across from Fontainebleau. It was one of the most memorable experiences that I had in France. It was my first trip to France and to Paris. I toured Fontainebleau and Versailles. I fell in love with France that summer. From there I spent a few days in the hunting country with friends. I've returned to France many times but I'll always remember my first Croque Monsieur like my first love! Thank you for reminding me of such fond experiences in my beloved France!
Ahh, my grandmother made this for us on weekends. Mmm, amazing. Thanks for bringing back a great sandwich and some wonderful memories.
Thanks again Chef Jean-Pierre 😋
In my opinion this man deserves 10 million subs at least.
Love how chef JP twirls his fingers with excitement!
I love your passion and enthusiasm. I also love Publix!
A great chef and not a snob. He has fun in the kitchen. He must be great to work for
Man you make some great looking dishes chef. I have enjoyed everyone of your videos. Always look forward to the next one.
Great recipe, thanks!
Mornay sauce is the Onyo of sauces. It taste delicious, and can be used for just about any dish with cheese.
One of my favorite recipes for when I don't feel like cooking a lot, is mornay sauce with grated ham and pasta. Very simple, and very tasty.
Chef Jean-Pierre, your croque monsieur with all that cheesy goodness will now be made on a regular basis for my family. We are cheese lovers deluxe and love your quick and easy no mess-no-fuss delicious recipes, ready in no time.

when it’s cold and rainy this recipe brings me warmth, thank you chef! I know what I’m having tomorrow morning.
Stunning Chef JP. A small tip; smear some Dijon mustard on the base slice of bread and then 😊the sauce. To die for. 😊
I've long been a fan of eggs Benedict, so this sandwich looks like heaven ❤
I love how passionate he is about food.
Chef Jean-Pierre, we fell in love with Mr. Crunchy sandwiches on our first trip to Paris in 1983. We have been making these at home for decades. Your recipe looks delicious, especially the brie! We spread some Dijon-style mustard on each slice of bread. We find that the acid cuts through the rich fattines. Also, we steep half an onion studded with 2 cloves in the milk along with a little grated nutmeg and a bay leaf. Not sure if its a better recipe, as you had requested, but it is delicious in its own right! Thanks for all of the great video demonstrations! We are sure its a lot of hard work, but clearly a labor of love.
Mr. Crunchy sandwiches I love that
Never has a youtube video made a grin the entire time I watched. Hes just so happy and passionate.
I did it just now but with a slight deviation.... I put smoked turkey instead of ham because I don't like ham. I eat it but don't prefer it.
It really turned out to be out of this world.
THANK YOU for this delicious recipe 😋
Oh my good God, these look phenomenal! I'm making Croque's today, I've gotta have one... maybe two.
Oh, jeez. . . . I just put your mac and cheese recipe in the oven for dinner and now this!!! I’ll just have to go ahead an admit it: I love you, Chef!
Chef, your joyous demeanor and zest for life is infectious. Not to mention your cooking skills.
Are you kidding? Something as simple as a ham and cheese and he steps it up to another ten levels! Makes me proud to have French ancestry!
Just watching him is so entertaining. Such a fabulous professional chef, yet so humble. He tells you you can do everything he can do. "it's so simple!" 👍👍
Addicted to the personality. It’s gotta be a lot to keep that up for these vids, but there’s an air of likeability that’s like the cool uncle.
What I absolutely love about Chef JP is that he tells you WHY to do things. I've always seen people put the plastic wrap directly on sauces before, but this is absolutely the first time I've been told why.
Its like when you put Plastic Wrap on Top of Pudding or so, which also helps that it wont make a Skin on Top, but yeah while some People might know this, there are still the ones who dont know it, so its nice he mentions it.
@@Sheppart92 Exactly! I'm such a n00b when it comes to cooking - I can follow a recipe but I never know why to do anything in the order I'm told to do it, and I can't fix mistakes because I don't know what I was trying to do in the first place. Chef JP teaches in such a gentle manner that I now know why I'm putting those onions in first, why I'm adding salt to the mushrooms as they cook, and now I know why I put the cling wrap directly on the sauce lol
OMG I LOVE COOKING AND YOUR MAKING ME LOVE IT MORE ..THIS GUY IS AWESOME AND I'VE WATCHED 1000S OF VIDEOS ...GOD BLESS THIS CHEF
This is only the second video of his that I have watched but I absolutely love him. Use whatever cheese you like and the easy way he does stuff.
Thank you Monsieur!
By accident I found this channel few days ago and instantly got hooked even though cooking has never been my thing. Your passion and the way of presentation is truly joyful to watch in every video.
Compared to the sandwiches Im used to make in my oven, these were from another world (if you add a slice of tomato) 👌 Im gonna try much more of your recipes in the future.
Thank you for this unexpected inspiration, greetings from Finland!
Subscribe, you will get certifications when anything new is posted. You won't miss a thing.
That's a yummy sammich! Chef JP, you could make peanut butter and jelly look high end. 🤣🤣
Damn, that is one elevated ham and cheese sandwich! 😊
Smoked bacon sandwich with thin sliced cheddar and the inside of the the bread is toasted. Heaven.
Jusy made this for my family. It was a massive hit. Thanks cheff JP, you rock!
Good day Chef JP. Happy holidays to you and yours. I agree this is the best ever. I made it yesterday. I found brioche loaf style bread in my grocery store, used this. Used 1/2 pound ham per sandwich. The cheese sauce was better then I could ever imagined. Immersion blender made it smooth smooth smooth. I used sun dried tomatoes for the top under more sauce. Had a egg ontop for both sandwiches. Simply the best. Thanks Chef. You the MAN !!!!!!!!!!
