Make this rich, cheesy Italian Croque Monsieur at home! 🧀🍖 Watch these satisfying step-by-step hands-only visuals as we layer savory ham and prosciutto with melty cheese and creamy sauce, then toast it to golden, crispy perfection. Finished with fresh herbs and cracked black pepper, this indulgent twist on the French classic is perfect for brunch, lunch, or a comforting dinner.
Ingredients:
• 4 slices thick-cut bread
• 4 slices ham
• 4 slices prosciutto
• 6 oz Gruyère or mozzarella cheese, sliced
• 2 tbsp butter, softened
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1 cup milk
• ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• Fresh thyme or parsley, for garnish
Method:
1. Make the béchamel sauce: melt 1 tbsp butter in a saucepan over medium heat, whisk in flour, and cook for 1 minute.
2. Slowly whisk in milk and cook until thickened, then stir in parmesan, salt, and pepper. Set aside to cool slightly.
3. Layer ham and prosciutto onto a slice of bread, then top with slices of cheese.
4. Spread a layer of the béchamel sauce over the cheese, then top with the second slice of bread.
5. Butter the outside of the sandwich generously.
6. Heat a skillet over medium heat and place the sandwich in, pressing gently with a spatula.
7. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
8. Remove from the skillet and top with an extra spoonful of béchamel and a sprinkle of cheese if desired, then broil briefly for a golden top (optional).
9. Garnish with fresh herbs and cracked black pepper before serving.
