Recipe Summary Traditional Croque Monsieur With Bechamel Sauce (Cafe-Style)

This is the traditional way to make a croque monsieur... straight from France, cafe-style!

Ingredients | Croque Monsieur Parisien

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 cups milk

1 pound shredded Gruyere cheese, divided

salt and ground black pepper to taste

16 slices white sandwich bread

½ pound thinly sliced ham

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place bread slices on a baking sheet.

Melt butter in a saucepan. Add flour; cook and stir until paste-like, about 2 minutes. Slowly add milk, while stirring. Cook and stir until sauce is thickened, about 3 minutes. Turn off the burner and stir in 1/2 cup Gruyere cheese, salt, and pepper.

Toast bread slices in the preheated oven, keeping an eye on them so they don't burn, 3 to 4 minutes per side.

Remove bread from the oven and top 8 slices with ham. Sprinkle 1/2 of the remaining Gruyere over the ham, then top with remaining 8 bread slices. Pour Bechamel sauce over each sandwich and sprinkle with remaining Gruyere.

Return to the oven and bake for 5 minutes. Turn on the broiler and broil until cheese is nicely toasted but not burned, 1 to 2 minutes. Enjoy while hot.
