Classic Parisian Jambon-Beurre Sandwich Recipe

ficelle

High-quality European butter (salted to your liking, at room temperature)

Jambon de Paris (or other high-quality ham, sliced paper thin)

Slice each ficelle in half lengthwise so you have an open sandwich. Spread a ridiculous amount of the room temperature butter on the baguette then layer each with a few slices of paper-thin ham. Close and eat way too many. 

Croque Monsieur is a delicious French ham and cheese sandwich topped with béchamel sauce and baked to crispy perfection. Perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.

French Croque Monsieur Recipe

white bread

grated Gruyère or Emmental cheese

Dijon mustard

butter

all-purpose flour

milk

nutmeg

Salt and pepper

Parmesan cheese

Prepare the Béchamel Sauce

 In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk constantly for about 1 minute until it forms a smooth paste. Gradually whisk in the milk, continuing to whisk until the sauce thickens and comes to a gentle boil. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Remove from heat and set aside.

Assemble the Sandwiches

 Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread Dijon mustard on one side of each bread slice. Place a slice of ham on two slices of bread, top with half of the grated Gruyère or Emmental cheese, and close the sandwiches with the remaining bread slices, mustard side down.

Top with Béchamel and Cheese

 Spread a thin layer of béchamel sauce on top of each sandwich, then sprinkle with the remaining Gruyère or Emmental cheese and Parmesan cheese.

Bake the Sandwiches

 Place the sandwiches on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the bread is golden and crispy. For an extra crispy top, broil the sandwiches for the last minute.

Serve

Serve hot with a simple salad or soup on the side. Enjoy!
