Croque Monsieur a la George Foreman®
Croque Monsieur a la George Foreman
A Hot French Sandwich for those Hot Summer Days
The Croque Monsieur is a traditional French hot sandwich – the more sophisticated cousin to the American Hot Ham & Cheese. The actual sophisticated part of the sandwich comes in how the bread is dipped & coated in an egg mixture prior to grilling – much like French toast.
Although more elaborate versions use a special Béchamel cream sauce, a quick and easy version can be made on your George Foreman® Grill using honey mustard as the main condiment – this also helps to make the sandwich healthier, since Béchamel is a cream sauce that can be very fattening. For our George Foreman® version, we also used turkey-ham, instead of por and low-fat cheese to make it healthier as well.
- ¼ cup Egg Beaters
- ¼ cup milk
- ¼ tsp. salt
- 4 slices white bread
- 1 tbsp. honey mustard
- 4 oz. sliced turkey-ham
- 4 oz. sliced low-fat Swiss cheese
- 4 oz. sliced turkey
In glass pie plate or shallow dish, combine egg beaters, milk and salt; blend well.
Place 2 slices of bread on a cutting board; spread honey mustard on the bread. Top each slice of bread with your turkey-ham, cheese and turkey slices. Cover with the remaining slices of bread.
Dip sandwiches into your egg mixture and turn to coat both sides.
Place on your preheated grill and close the cover. Grill 3 minutes or until the sandwich is golden and the cheese is melted.
Makes 2 sandwiches.
