Rachel Khoo's croque madame muffins
- 2 pieces of large toast bread per muffin
- 1 egg per muffin
- 1 Some melted butter or margarine
- 1 tbsp butter or margarine
- 1 tbsp regular flour
- 2 dl milk
- 1 A dash of mustard (whichever kind you want)
- 1 A sprinkle of nutmeg
- 1 Salt and peppar
- 1 Roughly 200g of grated cheese, preferably a strongish one
- 1 Sliced ham, turkey or salami (the kind you put on a sandwich)
- Slice your protein and put it aside.
- Take your toast and cut off the crusts, as close to them as you can.
- I use regular souffleforms to make these, and they require 2-3 slices of bread/muffin, depending on how big the slices of bread are.
- Use a rolling pin to flatten your pieces of bread until they are quite thin.
- Then brush them with the melted butter.
- This is so they turn crisp and not soggy in the oven.
- Grease your souffle forms.
- (You can also use a muffin tin).
- Press your flattened, buttered pieces of bread into them.
- The edges are supposed to be sticking up.
- Slice your protein, and add a bit to every muffin.
- Now melt the butter for the sauce!
- Then add the flour and mix into a paste.
- Add the milk and remove from the heat once it thickens.
- Add almost all the cheese, but save some so you can sprinkle it over the muffins.
- Season with salt, peppar, nutmeg and a dash of mustard.
- Crack an egg into every muffin.
- There will most likely be too much eggwhite to fit into one egg, so pour some of this out before pouring the egg into the muffin.
- Spoon approximately 1tbsp of sauce into every muffin carefully.
- Sprinkle some cheese over each muffin.
- Bake in the oven at 180F C (350F) for 12 minutes if you want runny eggs or 17-20 minutes if you want your eggs firm.
- If they don't come out of the souffle forms or muffin tin without ease, you can use a knife and carefully loosen them where they appear to be stuck.
