A variation of the original Croque Monsieur sandwich. It includes Andouille sausages and Edam cheese (if you have Gouda cheese even better)…
Ingredients (for 2)
- 1/2 Andouille sausage
- 4 slices sandwich bread
- 1/2 cup Edam cheese
- 1 tbsp mayo
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 cup milk
- salt & black pepper
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400° F (200° C)
- Grate or thinly chop the edam or Gouda cheese and set aside
- Take a shallow plate and beat the eggs
- Add milk, salt, black pepper and nutmeg and whisk well
- Place the sandwich slices on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven, 2-3 minutes per side, until lightly toasted
- Remove from oven and brush half of the toasted slices with mayonnaise
- Add the crushed or sliced Andouille sausage, and 2/3 of cheese
- Top with the other toasted bread slices
- Dip the sandwiches into the egg mixture, coating well on all sides
- Turn on the broiler in the oven and place the sandwich back on the baking sheet
- Pour over the sandwich the remaining egg mixture and sprinkle remaining cheese on top
- Broil for 3 minutes or until cheese on top bubbles and is lightly browned
Tips from the Chef
- For an extra taste, top with some béchamel sauce and cheese, and broil in oven until melted
