Method

Cheese Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cheeses

    Slice the brie cheese into thin pieces. Grate the fontina and gruyere cheeses. Set aside.

Meat Preparation

  1. 2

    Prepare the Meats

    Slice the prosciutto, speck, and country ham into manageable pieces for layering.

Bread Assembly

  1. 3

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread dijonnaise on one side of each slice of pullman loaf. Layer the cheeses and meats on the non-spread side of two slices, starting with brie, followed by fontina, then gruyere, and finally the meats. Top with the other two slices of bread, spread side up.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Toast the Sandwiches

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt a little butter. Place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet and toast until golden brown on the bottom. Flip and toast the other side until golden brown and the cheeses are melted.

Mornay Sauce

  1. 5

    Prepare the Mornay Sauce

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk continuously for about 2 minutes. Gradually add the milk while continuing to whisk until the sauce thickens. Stir in the nutmeg and the shredded gruyere until melted.

Final Assembly

  1. 6

    Finish the Croque Monsieur

    Once the sandwiches are toasted, place them on a baking sheet. Pour the mornay sauce over the top of each sandwich and place under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, until bubbly and golden.
