Croque Madame with Almond Béchamel

Ingredients

Preparation

Preparation

In a small saucepan add the butter the flour and whisk continuously for 3-4 minutes over medium-to-high heat.

Add half the Almond Drink and stir continuously. Once the mixture thickens, add the rest of the Almond Drink and keep stirring vigorously.

Remove the saucepan from the burner, add half the gruyere and stir.

Place a slice of bread on a flat surface and fold a slice Emmental cheese on top, so there’re actually two slices of cheese on the slice of bread.

Add a slice of ham, a generous dollop of the béchamel and some grated gruyere. Place another slice of bread on top.

Spread a little butter on both sides and cook on a nonstick skillet in medium heat for a few minutes until golden. Remove the croque madame from the skillet and place in a baking tray.

Add a generous dollop of bechamel on top and sprinkle some grated gruyere.

Repeat the process for the second croque madame.

Heat the oven, place the croque madame in the middle and grill for a few minutes, until the cheese melts.

In the meantime, prepare two eggs, either over-easy or sunny-side-up, and place them on top of the croque madame once you remove them from the grill.

Add some finely chopped chives and serve immediately.
