About Croque monsieur

Croque Monsieur is a classic French sandwich that combines rich flavors and indulgent textures. Traditionally made with slices of white bread, ham, and Gruyère or Emmental cheese, it is assembled as a toastie with a creamy béchamel sauce and then grilled or baked until golden and bubbly. Originating in French cafés in the early 20th century, this dish has become a beloved comfort food worldwide. While it boasts protein from ham and calcium from cheese, it can be high in saturated fats and calories due to the creamy sauce and cheese used. Opting for whole-grain bread and lean ham or light cheese can make it a more balanced choice. Enjoyed in moderation, the Croque Monsieur is a decadently satisfying treat that encapsulates the charm of French cuisine.
