Black pepper

to taste

Eggs

2, for frying

Butter

2 tablespoons

Dijon mustard

2 teaspoons

Gruyere cheese

4 slices

Ham

4 slices

Bread

Instructions

1. Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on one side of each bread slice.
2. Layer two slices of ham and two slices of Gruyere cheese on top of the mustard on two bread slices.
3. Top with the remaining bread slices to form sandwiches, mustard-side down.
4. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it starts to foam.
5. Add the sandwiches to the skillet and cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
6. Flip the sandwiches and cook the other side until golden brown and the cheese has melted, another 3-4 minutes.
7. In a separate skillet, melt a small knob of butter and fry the eggs to your preferred doneness.
8. Place a fried egg on top of each sandwich.
9. Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
10. Serve your Croque Madame Au Jambon immediately while the cheese is still melty and the egg is warm.
