Croque Monsieur French grilled ham and cheese sandwich recipe.  
Croque-Monsieur Sandwich
French Recipe

To mimic the authentic French classic, use good quality bread, cheese and ham—and don’t be shy about the butter. Some cooks like to amp up the richness even more by laying a thin slice of cheese on top of the completed sandwich, then placing the whole thing under the broiler for a minute or two. Heaven!
