English-style Croque-Monsieur (Slideshow version)

English-style Croque-Monsieur : Photo of step #26

Stage 16/16 :

Enjoy it while it's hot.

Remarks

If you like the smoky flavor, like I do, go for smoked cheddar instead of regular cheddar—you'll love it.

If you don’t have clarified butter, in step 2, spread the bread slices with softened butter (very soft).

A croque-monsieur is a simple dish, but it calls for high-quality ingredients—so, if possible, pay close attention to the bread, ham, and cheddar you use.

You may have noticed that I used whole-grain sandwich bread for this recipe—of course, this isn’t a requirement; it’s up to your personal preference.
