Croque Monsieur is a battered and deep-fried ham and cheese sandwich.
A grilled ham and cheese is not battered and fried. Really, Wayne,
you know better. ;-)

You can add tomato slices and bacon to this version, even, either over
or under the cheese, or one here and one there. Usually, you can just
pick it up and eat it = no fork necessary.

Funny, but after about the fifth BLT post I decided that's what we were
having for dinner tonight even though Sunday nights are about the only
time we have sandwiches.

I wonder how many other RFC people's dinners will be influenced by those

Nancy, what you describe would be a Monte Cristo. A true Croque Monsieur
is neither battered nor deep fried.

Well, as we all know, I'm all for people doing whatever they want to do
so long as it doesn't hurt anyone. So I *guess* I have to allow people
to put mayo on a BLT, but I don't have to think it's morally acceptable,
now, do I? ;-)

Nope. There is no mustard and no egg, and the cheese is ideally
Gruyère. With an egg it would be a croque madame.

Mustard is for sausages. Hot dogs. Even pastrami. Ooh, a good brown
mustard on corned beef is delicious. BLTs need mayo. Mayo and no other
condiment. I have spoken.

I'll take mayo, but there's enough salt in the bacon for me.

Good answer N,

I've done the same until I decided to start cutting calories in small
ways. Mayo does a good job at blocking soggy, but keeping it separate
from the tomatoes help (helps on the dripping also), and so does having
the lettuce between the tomato and the bread. A nice think crusty bread
does well also, and has the advantage of keeping the nice tomato juice
in the sandwich. Preferably sourdough for me.

Agreed about the Gruyère although there is a domestic Swiss that I've
recently discovered from a artisan cheese maker that is beautifully sharp
and fragrant.

As far as the croque monsieur, I'd never heard of it before watching Julia
and Jacque's sandwich episode. Jacque was making his with dijon and
suggested topping it with an egg. Her croque madame was made with turkey and
Gruyère, fried up.

Thanks.

Here are two other recipes from Gourmet Magazine:
http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/fo...onsieur-233974
I'm not sure if I'd appreciate using a sharp cheddar with the ham, rather a
smoked cheddar, and I wouldn't grate it but use thick slices.

The goat cheese sounds _really_ good!

Clan Ranger's dinner decision was definitely influenced by the topic.
We purchased two Green Zebra heirlooms, applewood smoked thick-cut
bacon, a crisp piece of Iceberg all between dual slices Shephards'

It tends to be. :-) I think that's part of the fun!
For me right now, a BLT becomes a salad. No bread.

It's actually quite satisfying. Shredded Iceberg or Romaine lettuce,
chopped tomatoes, crumbled bacon (or Hormel Bacon Bits) and a bit of
lime based mayo for dressing...

;-d

I don't currently have the ingredients on hand, but intend to pick some
up tomorrow morning on my way home from work!

I simply cannot get upset about your accusing me of having TIAD.
Because, Chris, Dams, and a bunch of other people here alllllll assure me
that I *have* no "A".

Plus, I cannot get upset with anyone who is so lacking in good taste that
they don't appreciate the almost orgasmic pleasure of MW with fresh Hanover
(ask Chris) tomatoes. That slightly acidic tartness is just perfect with
fresh tomatoes. Mayo is the white bread of condiments.

Miracle Whip, IMO is very much like commercial mass produced mayo. There
is certainly nothing wrong with a good home made mayo. For that matter,
there is nothing wrong with a nice loaf of good white bread. We aren't
talking about the mass produced crap that so many people buy.

Now THAT is funny! You may not have an "A", but you certainly do have a
sense of humor! Unlke deRanger....

MW just makes me gag, pure and simple. To be perfectly honest, I'm not
all that fond of mayo the way it's often used, slathered lavishly on
sandwiches, or pooling up potato salad. I like it used VERY sparingly,
and preferably homemade. By me :-)

Breadbaking is one of those almost hypnotic businesses, like a
dance from some ancient ceremony. It leaves you filled with one of
the world's sweetest smells... there is no chiropractic treatment,
no Yoga exercise, no hour of meditation in a music throbbing
chapel, that will leave you emptier of bad thoughts than this
homely ceremony of making bread. M.F.K. Fisher, The Art of Eating
