Croque Monsieur

 

 

Tony had brought a 8kg of Ham for 2 of us though I told him that it was too big for 2 of us. He just refused to listen. We have basted the ham 6days before Christmas and started having it. It is definitely going to us weeks to finish it off. We had the same issue of having too big a ham for us that we had to give away half a ham to our neighbour to help us finishing it for us. This year, I decided to slice up the ham and freezes it in the freezer so that we can finish up slowly...as I feel sick to stomach having it daily for 3days in a row. It has been a few days since we last had that ham. Read the Herald's paper on Sunday, they gave some ideas how to deal with leftover ham. Decided to whip up Croque Monsieur for breakfast.

Recipe adapted from Herald paper dated 23rd Dec 12.

Ingredients:
Bread
Mayonnaise or Butter
Grain Mustard
Tasty Cheese
Ham
Egg
Milk
Oil

For each croque:

1. Take 3 pieces of toast bread.
2. Butter or spread with mayonnaise.
3. Spread each slice with some grain mustard.
4. Generously layer sliced han ans tasty cheese onto 2 slices and stack up to make a 3 tier sandwich.
5. Make a mix of eggs and milk (as you would for French toast) and dip the triple deckes into this, allowing the bread to soak up the mix.
6. Seal each sandwich in a pan with a little pil and place on an oven tray.
7. bake the croques in a medium oven until the cheese is melted.
