Croque-monsieur complet (Slideshow version)

Croque-monsieur complet : Photo of step #26

Overview:

This is a "full Monty" version of the traditional French toasted sandwich: the bread is dipped in beaten egg with cream before cooking, rather like pain perdu, to make the fried bread rich and moist.

The French term "complet" here means "with everything": egg, ham and cheese.
