Le Croque Madame Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Salad

   In a bowl, combine mixed greens, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Toss well and set aside.

2. 2

   Assemble the Sandwich

   Lay out two slices of sourdough bread. Place a slice of ham and a slice of Gruyère cheese on each slice. Top with the remaining slices of bread.

3. 3

   Cook the Sandwich

   In a skillet over medium heat, melt a bit of butter. Add the sandwiches and cook until golden brown on both sides and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side.

4. 4

   Fry the Eggs

   In another pan, fry the eggs sunny-side up or to your desired doneness.

5. 5

   Serve

   Place the cooked sandwiches on plates, top each with a fried egg, and serve with the petite salad on the side.
