Like any other ideallic Sunday, I've spent the day so far grocery shopping at The Fresh Market, catching up on the previous week's DVR'd shows, reading "chic-lit", and of course cooking! For lunch I made an easier version of a croque monsieur (skipping the time consuming bechamel sauce). It was quick and tasted almost as good as any Parisian bistro.
French ham and cheese sandwich:
We used mini baguette, but any crusty bread will do. Combine 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise (we use the olive oil based one) and 1 tablespoon mustard (dijon or grainy), and spread on both sides of slice bread. Place two thin slices of deli ham and shredded cheese of choice (we used emmental...it's like swiss; but gruyere would be good too). On top of the sandwiches, spread some softened butter (I cheated and melted it partially in the microwave) and a little bit more shredded cheese. Place in a pre-heated 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes until the cheese melted. (The pictures are the before and after).
More later with cooking stories. I hope everyone is having a terrific weekend, can't believe it's the end of February already!
