Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bread

    Spread butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Place two slices of bread, buttered side down, on a skillet. Top each with a slice of ham and half of the Gruyère cheese. Place the remaining bread slices on top, buttered side up.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Sandwich

    Cook the sandwiches over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  2. 4

    Prepare the Eggs

    In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 5

    Cook the Eggs

    In a separate non-stick skillet, cook the egg mixture over low heat, stirring gently until the eggs are softly scrambled.

Final Assembly

  1. 6

    Serve the Croque Madame

    Plate the sandwiches and top each with a generous portion of scrambled eggs. Optionally, you can sprinkle additional Gruyère cheese on top.
