Gourmet WinterToastie

Because you can not go wrong with a classic

We love a good ham and cheese toasty – they’re so simple, and yet so delicious. The classic French Croque-Monsieur uses a béchamel but we have replaced that step with a little crème fraîche topping for a slightly lighter (and easier) result.

Note: top this sandwich with a still-runny fried egg to make the equally classic Croque-Madame.
