Croque Monsieur Sandwich
Ingredients
- 2 slices of bread
- 2 thin slices of Gruyère, Swiss, or Cheddar cheese
- 2 thin slices of deli ham
- Cooking oil for the pan
- 1 egg optional
- 1/2 tbsp milk optional
- 3/4 tbsp butter
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Layer 1 slice of bread with 1 slice of cheese followed by both slices of ham and the last piece of cheese. Add the second piece of bread.
- Use a piece of paper towel to rub an unheated heavy skillet with a little cooking oil. Ask a grown-up to help you place the skillet over medium heat.
- As the skillet heats, whisk the egg, milk, and salt in a shallow bowl until frothy. Melt the butter in the pan.
- As it melts, dip one side of the sandwich in the egg batter and then dip the other side.
- Immediately place the sandwich in the pan. Grill the sandwich on the first side for about 3 minutes, until golden brown. Then flip it with a spatula and grill for second side for another 3 minutes.
- Using a spatula, transfer the sandwich from the pan to a plate, slice it in half, and serve.
