A delicious morning treat featuring fried egg and Mornay sauce, easy to make any day of the week!
While browsing for new recipes on Delish, I came across the Croque Madame recipe. I had not really heard the term before, but turns out croque madame literally means "mister crunch"! And true to its name, it's a treasure trove of textures. When a friend egg is placed on this sandwich, it transforms into a croque madame. This recipe specifically features layers of thinly slices ham, melted cheese, and a delicious crunch from toasted bread. A new fave for seasons to come!
