Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Egg Mixture

    In a bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Lay two slices of ciabatta on a clean surface. Layer each slice with gruyere cheese and smoked ham. Top with the remaining slices of ciabatta to form two sandwiches.

  3. 3

    Drench the Sandwiches

    Carefully dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, allowing the bread to soak up some of the mixture.

  4. 4

    Cook the Sandwiches

    In a skillet, melt half of the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the sandwiches and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Add the remaining butter as needed.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once cooked, remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice in half, and serve hot. Enjoy your Croque Monsieur!
