Common variations include adding dijon mustard, or brushing melted butter on the outside before cooking. Sometimes grated cheese is sprinkled on the top as well. In truth there are as many variations as there are cooks. Ingredients:
sliced bread |
ham |
semi hard cheese |
egg (optional) |
Directions:
1. Butter two pieces of normal, sliced, bread (yes, this is available in French supermarkets).
2. Place a slice of ham cut to the size of the slice of bread, and some semi-hard cheese, on top of the first slice of bread (often gruyere cheese is used).
3. Put the other piece of buttered bread on the top, squeeze it together, and put in the oven for 10 minutes until the cheese has melted and the bread is toast.
4. Adding a fried egg changes the name to Croque Madam.
