Abstract

The article focuses on the croque monsieur, a classic French toasted sandwich made with cheese and ham, which has been a staple of French cuisine since its popularization in the early 20th century. While commonly attributed to a café run by Michel Lunarca around 1910, earlier references to similar sandwiches exist, including a mention in a 1891 magazine. The article provides a detailed recipe for preparing a croque monsieur, including the preparation of a Béchamel sauce and the assembly of the sandwich. Additionally, it notes the emergence of the croque madame in the 1960s, which features a fried egg on top. [Extracted from the article]
