Method of preparing the Croque Madame: 

Let's begin with the Béchamel sauce. 

 

In a small saucepan, melt 2 tbsp butter. Then add flour and stir constantly until thick. Add milk and bay leaf and stir until the mixture thickens - about 10 minutes. 

 

Remove bay leaf and add salt, 1/4 cup cheese and nutmeg. Transfer to a bowl to cool. 

 

Once cooled, add the remaining grated cheese, salt and pepper. 

 

Top 4 slices of bread with 2-3 slices of ham each. Spread some sauce on the ham and close the sandwiches. Save the rest of the sauce for later. 

 

Melt butter on a skillet. Fry the sandwiches for 2 minutes on each side. 

 

Top the sandwiches with the rest of the sauce and broil in the oven until golden brown. 

 

Crack the eggs into the skillet and prepare a sunny side up. 

 

Season the eggs lightly and top each sandwich with an egg.
