Croque madame
8 slices of white bread
8 slices of ham
200 g grated cheese
4 eggs
Butter
Béchamel sauce
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons flour
3 dl milk
113 g grated parmesan
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Salt
Pepper
How to make it:
Heat the butter in a saucepan over gentle heat until it's just melted. Stir in the flour with a wooden spoon.
Add the milk in three lots, stirring continuously, until well incorporated.
Keep stirring while cooking over the heat until the sauce is thickened and smooth.
Add the parmesan, dijon mustard, nutmeg, 1 egg yolk and stir to combine. Leave to cool.
Preheat oven to 200°C and get out an oven tray. Butter one side of each piece of bread. Lay 4 pieces butter-side down on baking tray.
Spread each piece with 2 tablespoons of Béchamel sauce and 2 pieces of ham.
Top with remaining bread, butter side up, and spread with 1 more tablespoon of Béchamel Sauce each.
Sprinkle with grated cheese and pop in the oven until golden, about 10 minutes.
While the toasts are baking, put some butter in a frying pan and fry the eggs over medium heat until cooked through, but still with a runny yolk.
Remove toasts from oven and top each one with a fried egg.
Serve for breakfast.
!Tip: Serve it with cherry tomatoes or fresh salad.
