Delicious Croque Madame Recipe Puts Other Sandwiches To Shame

There is a reason that many French recipes are considered wonderful kitchen classics all over the world.

Some of these dishes make use of the simplest, most accessible of ingredients, and yet, when finished, look stunning — and taste even more sensational.

In an exclusive video below, we share a recipe for one of the most well-known sandwiches in both the French and English-speaking worlds: a croque madame.

You can think of it as sort of an inside-out egg-in-a-hole grilled cheese sandwich, but with more spices, interesting steps, and a very special, famous “white sauce.”

You can absolutely substitute any of the ingredients listed below for your favorites, and, if you fancy a sandwich without an egg, simply leave it out, to make the equally famous “croque monsieur” sandwich.

Scroll down for the recipe, and make sure to check out the video below for the full instructions.
