How to Make a Ham and Cheese Croque Monsieur

Bella Breakdown
Though French cuisine is filled with countless delicacies, this sinfully delicious comfort food dish is among the best.

Start with four slices of white bread with the crust cut off and brush both sides with melted butter, a good start, no? Toast in your over until golden brown.

Next, gently heat milk on a stovetop and add a pinch of nutmeg. In a separate pan melt butter, add some flour and mix, then cook 2-3 minutes. Gradually whisk in the heated milk and you’ve completed your white sauce.

Now, spread mustard on two pieces of the toast and fold on slices of ham, sprinkle with Parmesan and slip under the broiler until the cheese is melted.

Top with the remaining slices of bread, pour on white sauce and top with remaining cheese, broil until bubbling. Enjoy every so often for the ultimate comfort food indulgence.
