Le Croque Monsieur

• Turn on your oven at 180°C (375ºF)
• On a baking tray, place 6 slices of bread
• On top of each, spread some butter and cheese. Add one slice of ham on each.
• Sprinkle some cheese again. Cover with another piece of bread.
• If you are adding the optional ingredient, mix them to your sour cream.
• Mix together the sour cream mixture and your remaining cheese and top each sandwich with one or two tablespoons of the mixture.
• Bake in the oven until it’s nice and crispy on top, about 20 minutes.
• Serve with a salad and enjoy.

Note: Want to try something different? To make a Croque Madame, cover the Croque Monsieur with a fried egg on top. For a Hawaiian Croque Monsieur, add a slice of pineapple. And of course, in place of ham, you can always use turkey.
