CROQUE MADAME

by tropicnights

Although the croque madame is traditionally served as a sandwich in France, here we present Ignis’ healthier, yet equally delicious, open-faced variant.

Active cooking time: 20 mins. Total cooking time: 20 mins. Serves 1

Béchamel sauce:

2 tbsp butter (28g)
1 tbsp plain flour (8g)
½ cup milk (125mL)

Croque madame:

1 slice of bread
1 lettuce leaf
2 slices of honey roast ham
2 oz grated Gruyère cheese (50g)
1 egg

To make béchamel sauce, melt the butter into a saucepan and add the flour. Gradually add the milk, whisking continuously until the sauce is thick. Set aside.
Toast your bread to your desired toastedness. Arrange the lettuce and ham as shown above, pour the béchamel that was set aside on top, and sprinkle on some cheese. Pop under a grill until the cheese is nice and toasted and bubbly.
In a frying pan, fry the egg. You’ll want to keep the yolk intact for optimal prettiness. Once cooked, place the egg on top of everything else and you're done!
