French Food Friday - Quick and Easy Croque Madame

  photo and recipe from here If I had to pick a favourite recipe, this one would be high on my list. I adore it as does my Frenchy who had only ever eaten croque-monsieur until I came along and introduced him to croque-madames. A croque - madame is a variation on the croque-monsieur, a French twist on grilled ham and cheese sandwich. Made with crème fraiche rather than béchamel, this classic variation of croque monsieur is delicious and super quick to make. Quick & Easy Croque Madame Serves:  2 Preparation time:  10 minutes Cooking time:  8 minutes You will need 4 slices of soft white Pain de Champagne bread or white toast bread 2 tsp butter 1 tsp Dijon mustard 4 tbsp crème fraiche 100g grated Gruyère cheese 2 slices of good quality carved ham from a deli or deli counter (from the bone) 4 tbsp vegetable oil 2 large eggs Method 1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas mark 5 2. Spread the butter on both side
