Croissant Croque Madame
Ingredients
- 6 croissants
- 500 ml whole milk
- 1-2 heaped tsp Dijon mustard
- ½ tsp nutmeg
- 50g butter
- 50g plain flour
- 6-8 slices of mortadella (or ham of choice)
- 150g gruyere, grated
- salt and pepper
- 6 eggs
- handful of fresh chopped chives
Method
- Melt the butter in a saucepan, then add the plain flour. Stir continuously until a paste forms. Continue cooking for two mins.
- Add the milk to the roux gradually, stirring as you go, until you get a smooth sauce. Cook for 5-10 mins, stirring continuously, until the sauce has thickened. Season to taste.
- Add the nutmeg, Dijon and half the gruyere.
- Slice open your croissants and spread the rest of the Dijon mustard between them. Add a slice of ham to each and top with a spoonful of bechamel. Grate over some extra cheese.
- Add the lids and repeat the process by adding extra bechamel and cheese on top. Place in the oven for 10 mins.
- Whilst the croissants are cooking, fry off some eggs.
- To plate up, sprinkle over some fresh chopped chives and enjoy.
