Croque monsieur with prosciutto and Gorgonzola
How to make Croque monsieur with prosciutto and Gorgonzola recipe - For a lighter version, toast the sandwiches using a dry panini or sandwich press, and poach the eggs instead of frying them. Croque-Monsieur au prosciutto et Gorgonzola recette
Serves 4
Ingredients:
8 slices sourdough white bread
about 2 tbsp unsalted butter, at room temperature
8 thin slices prosciutto
7oz (200g) Gorgonzola cheese, thinly sliced
2 tbsp olive oil
4 large eggs
Method:
1 Butter each of the bread slices on one side. Place 4 of the bread slices buttered-side down on the work surface, and divide the prosciutto and cheese evenly among them, arranging neatly on top of each slice. Cover with the remaining bread slices, butteredside up, to make a sandwich.
2 Heat a large, heavy, lightly oiled frying pan over medium heat. When hot, carefully arrange the sandwiches in the pan without crowding. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side until the bread is a golden brown and the cheese has melted. Remove from heat.
3 Wipe out the pan, and heat the olive oil until medium-hot. Break each egg into the pan separately, and fry the eggs until done to your preference. Slide a fried egg on top of each toasted sandwich, and serve immediately.
variation:
Use ham and Gruyère or a similar soft melting cheese such as Emmentaler.
