Minis croques monsieur 🥪🤤 Cr: @MalcomsFood

Ingredients

• 2 slices White Bread Slices (soft, standard sandwich bread)
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter (softened; 2 tbsp for spreading, 2 tbsp for pan)
• 2 slices Ham Slices (thinly sliced, preferably cooked ham)
• 2 slices Gruyère Cheese (grated or thinly sliced; can use Emmental)
• 2 large Eggs (fresh, room temperature)
• 3 tablespoons Milk (whole or 2% milk)

Instructions

1. Prepare Bread and Fillings

   Lay out the two bread slices, spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each slice, then place a slice of ham and a slice of cheese on the buttered side. Top with the second slice, buttered side down, to form a sandwich.

   Time: PT4M

2. Remove Crusts and Cube

   Using the bread knife, carefully cut off the crusts from the assembled sandwich. Then cut the crust‑less sandwich into 12 even cubes (approximately 2‑inch squares).

   Time: PT5M

3. Make Egg‑Milk Batter

   In a mixing bowl, crack the two eggs, add the milk, and whisk until fully combined and slightly frothy.

   Time: PT2M

4. Heat the Skillet

   Place the skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter, swirling to coat the surface evenly.

   Time: PT2M

   Temperature: medium heat

5. Dip and Fry the Cubes

   One by one, dip each bread cube into the egg‑milk batter, allowing excess to drip off, then place into the hot buttered skillet. Cook for about 2‑3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp.

   Time: PT8M

   Temperature: medium heat

6. Serve

   Transfer the golden‑brown mini croque monsieur bites to a plate. Serve hot, optionally with a small side of mustard or a light salad.

   Time: PT1M
