Chile Ham Croque Monsieur You may have heard of the French classic dish called Croque Monsieur. I have seen it prepared in many ways, sometimes as a grilled ham and cheese sandwich topped with a creamy white sauce, or the sandwich may be dipped in an egg batter and then grilled or fried. This recipe is a southwestern version of the Croque Monsieur. Makes four servings Ingredients: 4 tablespoons softened cream cheese 1/2 cup canned green chiles, chopped 1 cup ham, diced 1 1/2 cups Monterey Jack Cheese, grated 8 slices firm, home-style white bread 4 eggs 1 1/2 cups milk 2 tablespoons butter 1/2 teaspoon chili powder 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard 1/2 cup prepared salsa 1/2 cup sour cream 1 small avocado, peeled and cut into slices Procedure:
ОглавлениеMix the cream cheese, chiles, ham and Jack cheese together. Make four sandwiches with this filling. Press the sandwiches down to make sure that they are firmly held together.
Whisk the eggs, milk, chile powder and dry mustard together and place this mixture in a shallow dish, like a pie pan.
Melt the butter in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Dip the sandwiches into the egg batter and place them in the skillet.
Cook the sandwiches for about 5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown.
Serve one Croque Monsieur per person and garnish each plate with a dollop each of the salsa and sour cream and a couple of avocado slices.
