Additional advice

- Take out the butter in advance to make it easier to spread.

- To return the croque-monsieur in the pan, use a spatula so as not to burn yourself.

- You can also toast your croque-monsieur in the oven, turning them halfway through cooking. Find out how to do it here.

- Some gourmets like to add a layer of béchamel cheese sauce on one of the slices of sandwich bread. Discover the béchamel recipe here.

- Now, there are many variations around the classic croque-monsieur. You can add a fried egg on the croque-monsieur to make a horse-drawn sandwich. In the Hawaiian croque, a pineapple slice is added to the ham and cheese.

- You can also replace the Gruyère with a tasty Bleu d'Auvergne and you get a succulent Auvergne croque.

- Finally, with one or two slices of tomato to complete the ham and cheese garnish, we have a croque-madame!

- You can also prepare your croque-monsieur in a sandwich maker. And to clean it easily, follow this tip.
