Croque-Monsieur (With Madame)
Blue Jean Chef's Note:
The Croque Monsieur sandwich is essentially a grilled ham and cheese sandwich but with cheese sauce poured on top and broiled to perfection. Top it with a fried egg, and it becomes a Croque Madame. The sandwich is such a standard item on French café menus, that even McDonald's restaurants in France offer their version of the classic — a ''Croque Mc'Do''!
