Croque-monsieur

4 slices sandwich bread

4 slices white ham

30 g of butter

30 g of flour

100 g of grated cheese

250 ml of milk

Optional

1 pinch of nutmeg

Stove

Saucepan

Whisk

Spatula

1. 1

   Prepare the béchamel: Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour, stirring quickly with a whisk to form a roux. Slowly pour in the milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Simmer until the béchamel thickens. Season with nutmeg, salt and pepper. Set aside.

2. 2

   On two slices of sandwich bread, spread a tablespoon of béchamel sauce on each side. Place a slice of ham and a handful of grated cheese on top of the béchamel on one slice, then close the sandwich with the other slice of bread.

3. 3

   Melt a knob of butter in a preheated frying pan over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the pan and cook until the bread is golden and crisp on both sides, and the cheese has melted.

4. 4

   Repeat for the remaining Croque-Monsieur.

5. 5

   Once the croque-monsieurs are cooked, cut them diagonally to form two triangles. Serve hot and enjoy!
