Croque-Monsieur is a breakfast sandwich that is popular in France. It consists of battered and fried bread filled with ham and cheese. The sandwich is then topped with a sauce, which is typically béchamel.
Croque-Monsieur can be easily adapted into a Monte Cristo by adding chicken to the filling. This sandwich makes a great lunch, especially when served with a tossed salad.
