Cook The Book: Neo-Classic Croque Monsieur
- 4 half-inch-thick slices country hearth bread or 2 six-inch lengths baguette
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon grainy mustard
- 3 ounces Emmentaler cheese, thinly sliced
- 6 small cornichons, coarsely chopped
- 4 quarter-inch-thick slices (about 4 ounces) baked country ham
- Put the bread, buttered sides down, on a cutting board and spread 1 1/2 teaspoons of mustard on two slices. Top each with some cheese. Sprinkle the chopped cornichons on top of cheese. Arrange the ham on top of the cornichons. Top each sandwich with the remaining bread slices, buttered side up.
- Place the sandwiches on the press, and pull the top down. Cook until sandwiches are browned and crisp, 3 to 5 minutes, depending on heat of your press. Remove from press and serve immediately.
