Sink your teeth into this hot take on a ham and cheese sandwich drenched in a decadent Mornay sauce. Pro Tip: To make a Croque Madame, put an egg on it!
Ingredients
Mornay Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 ounces Gruyère, shredded
Sandwich:
- 2 slices brioche
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3 ounces grated Gruyère, divided
- 2 ounces sliced ham
- ½ cup Mornay sauce
Preparation
To make the Mornay sauce, melt butter and flour in a small sauce pot. Whisk in the milk and bring to a simmer. Let simmer for 5 minutes and then remove from heat. Add the Gruyère and whisk until smooth, then reserve.
Heat oven to 400°F.
For the sandwich, toast both slices of brioche then spread one side of each with Dijon mustard. Top one slice with 2 ounces of Gruyère, sliced ham and the other piece of bread, Dijon-side down. Spread Mornay sauce on top and finish with remaining Gruyère.
Place in oven and bake until top is golden brown.
