Ingredients

8 slices Coles Bakery white Vienna loaf
60g soft butter, to spread
20g soft butter, for the eggs
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
200g Coles double smoked sliced ham, from the deli
200g Coles brand Australian tasty cheddar, thinly sliced
4 eggs
2 tsp finely chopped parsley

Instructions

4 steps

Spread bread evenly with butter, to the edges. Make four stacks of bread, with the buttered sides together.

Spread mustard onto the top slice and layer with ham and cheddar. Preheat a large frying pan over medium-low heat. Lift the top slice of two of the sandwiches into the pan, buttered-side down (and filling on top). Place the other slice on, buttered-side up.

Cook for a few mins, until golden brown underneath. Carefully turn over and cook other side. Make sure it isn't too hot, so the cheddar melts by the time the bread is a nice golden brown. Set aside and keep warm. Repeat to make 2 more sandwiches.

Increase heat to medium-high and melt the extra butter in frying pan. Break eggs into pan and cook for about 3 mins, until the white has set but the yolk is still runny, or to your liking. Top the sandwiches with a fried egg, and sprinkle with parsley.

Croque-Madame

The lusciously rich and cheesy croque-madame sandwich is a variation on the famous croque-monsieur. The croque-madame is similar to the croque-monsieur in almost every way. Both include ham, a creamy béchamel sauce, and Gruyère cheese, but the croque-madame is topped off with a fried egg. The runny egg yolk adds a rich sauciness to this substantial sandwich.

My take on Thomas Keller's Bouchon Croque Madame, aka the ULTIMATE grilled ham and cheese sandwich topped with a rich and creamy sauce and gooey eggs.

Croque Monsieur is a hot ham and cheese sandwich, done the French way! Béchamel sauce, ham, cheese and a smear of Dijon mustard, grilled until it's oozing, this sandwich is the king of grilled cheeses!
