About Double croque monsieur

The Double Croque Monsieur is a decadent twist on the classic French café favorite, offering layers of indulgence. This sandwich features two slices of thick, buttery bread filled with smoky ham and creamy Gruyère or Emmental cheese. It’s then coated in a rich béchamel sauce before being grilled or baked to golden perfection. Originating in France in the early 20th century, its name derives from "croquer," meaning "to crunch." While undeniably rich, this dish provides protein from the ham and calcium from the cheese. However, its high saturated fat and calorie content make it more of an occasional treat than a health-conscious meal. Pairing it with fresh greens or a light salad can provide balance and offset some of its indulgence. Perfect for brunch or a hearty lunch, the Double Croque Monsieur is a savory delight rooted in classic French comfort food tradition.
