If there is an emblematic sandwich in French cuisine, it is the Croque-Monsieur, a kind of what we know as a mixed sandwich, but tastier. It is a very simple dish consisting of sliced bread, ham, Emmental or Gruyere cheese and b\u00e9chamel (butter or cr\u00e8me fra\u00eeche). Although it is said to have first appeared on a menu in a Parisian caf\u00e9 in 1910, the sandwich was first mentioned in the late 19th century, in the Revue athl\u00e9tique, as an innovation to break out of the ham rut and create that first croque-monsieur with toast, ham, cayenne pepper, Gruyere cheese and butter, and put it in a frying pan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later a variant called Croque-Madame emerged, which is exactly the same as the original, but with the addition of a fried egg on top. It is said to be so named because the egg topping the slice of bread was reminiscent of the hats worn by the women of the time. If you want to make either sandwich at home, take note because this is the recipe with b\u00e9chamel sauce to cook them in 10 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
