	French Food and Cook : Croque monsieur
		Croque Monsieur ("Crunch Mister") and Croque Madame ("Crunch Missis") are very traditional snacks in France.
		Concerning the meaning of the name, the verb "croquer" means to crunch.
		It is difficult to say why "monsieur" or "madame", for monsieur, probably because workers were asking for a fast and hot dish in bars and cafés.

		Ham is also a great match, which immediately brought to mind croque monsieur: a French-style ham and cheese (usually Gruyere) sandwich which is grilled, broiled or pan-fried in butter until the bread is golden brown and the cheese melted.
		According to Alan Davidson's The Oxford Companion to Food, "croque monsieur literally means 'crunch-sir' or 'munch-sir' (croquer being the French verb 'to crunch' or 'to munch')." Its spouse -- the croque madame -- is traditionally topped with a fried egg.
		A classic croque monsieur is basically a ham and cheese sandwich made with crustless, buttered bread and broiled or pan-fried in butter.

	emerils.com \| notes from the kitchen
		The Monte Cristo, the American cousin to the Croque Monsieur and Madame, is made with pretty much the same ingredients, then dipped into an egg batter (a la French toast) and pan fried.
		Before the croque became a "fast-food" classic, it was served as an hors d'oeuvre or tea sandwich.
		The name comes from the verb "croquer" which means "to crunch." No one exactly knows how or why "monsieur" or "madame" came into use, but it is speculated to have arisen because the quickly eaten sandwich was a worker (male and female) favorite.

	In France, it's Called "LE Grilled Cheese" - Slashfood
		Actually, the French have their own version of a grilled cheese sandwich called the croque monsieur, a ham and cheese sandwich that is dipped in an egg wash like regular French toast (but not always), grilled, and served with creamy Mornay or Béchamel sauce.
		The croque madame is the monsieur’s companion, but since she is a lady, she has a fried egg on top.
		Croque Monsieur is my favorite type of "grilled cheese." Angelique Cafe in downtown L.A. has a good version of it with bechamel sauce.

		croque sandwiches are a grilled sandwich, with ham with some rustic "brown sauce" and melted cheese on top of all the bread.
		Yes, but now I get the comparison, because those cheap "reheat" croques one can buy in Paris really cheap and are apparently the ones students eat have about the same amount in common with real croques, as do the package Ramen with real Ramen.
		Many, many years ago, a Croque Monsieur was a ham and cheese sandwich made with French toast.

		The Croque Madame, left, and Croque Monsieur are just two of the gourmet sandwiches found in "Nancy Silverton's Sandwich Book." Silverton drew inspiration for the recipes from a food-oriented trip to Italy.
		Silverton includes the classic Croque Madame and Croque Monsieur, possibly the first breakfast sandwich, which marries Gruyere cheese and smoked ham with eggs, in the case of Madame, and a Mornay sauce for Monsieur.
		This sandwich is made in the same manner as the Croque Madame (see above), but instead of a fried egg on top, the sandwich is topped with a warm and creamy Mornay sauce.

	Grilled cheese: Infinitely adaptable — and oozing charm \| ajc.com
		On an episode of "Meals," Ray returned to the roots of the grilled cheese genre with a recipe for croque monsieur, a classic French cafe sandwich.
		The croque monsieur is a "grilled ham and cheese sandwich that is dipped into beaten egg before being sautéed in butter," according to Sharon Tyler Herbst's "Food Lover's Companion" (Barron's).
		(In France, croque madame is similar to the male counterpart but with "the addition of a fried egg," writes Herbst.

	...an endless banquet: Croque Madame, pain Poilane
		Like so many other clichés of French cuisine--French onion soup and the French omelet come to mind--most of these spots advertising their Croques Monsieurs and Madames aren't worth a second glance.
		Poilâne was started in 1932 by Pierre Poilâne, and what distinguished Poilâne bread was its use of stoneground flour and natural leavener at a time when bread baking in France was rapidly moving away from those traditional methods and towards "modern" baking methods.
		By the time that loaf got to us it was a little worse for wear, but those traditional sourdoughs are a hearty breed and it was still making for the best breakfast toasts you can imagine.

		And it’s not like we wanted much — for instance, all we wanted to do was order our food in the beginning of the meal, and to decline to dessert before the waiter tossed down two dessert menus without asking us about it and then running away.
		Croque Madame (bottom — Toasted Ham and Cheese Sandwich on Brioche with a Fried Egg and & Mornay Sauce, served w/ French Fries) and Open-Faced Lamb and Pickled Red Onion Tartine on Toasted Levain w/ French Fries (top).

		The Croque Monsieur ($6.95) is a peculiar beast, squeezing fl forest ham and swiss cheese in the tender clutch of grilled bread, with a splash of tomato sauce painting the plate.
		The Croque Madame ($7.50) steps it up by crowning the creation with a nice, big fried egg.
		The Madame, however, remains Portobello's best in show — a pretty little palate pleaser that not only restores one's faith in food, but guarantees a return engagement.

		Nice Matin is one of Gothamist’s favorite brunch spots because it is able to resolve our typical breakfast or lunch dilemma with a single dish – the Croque Madame.
		Nice Matin creates a classic Croque Monsieur by smothering two slices of fresh bread with a gruyere mixture, layers a few slices of smoked ham in the middle and then broils the remaining gruyere on top of the sandwich to a gooey crustiness.
		But to make your brunch dilemma-free, they place a sunnyside egg on top and the Croque Madame is born.

		But I encountered a seriously delicious croque monsieur the other day at Maximillianâs, a weirdly accurate NoHo replica of a kitschy tourist restaurant in a French railway town, complete with smeary murals of the Eiffel Tower, a deserted patio around a fountain, and a tooth-dissolvingly tart vinaigrette.
		The croque monsieur is made with GruyÃ¨re cheese and a thick wad of smoky ham on super-rich toasted brioche â” formidable!
		Maximillianâs is also reputed to serve a croque madame, but last week the claim was not subject to independent verification.

		A Croque Monsieur (pronounced "croak muhs-yoor") in its purest form is a grilled ham and cheese.
		There are many variations on the Croque Monsieur, such as a simple toasted ham and cheese, a sandwich dipped in custard and grilled, another grilled and topped with Mornay sauce (cream sauce with cheese) and another one broiled.
		The best Croque I've ever eaten was at a small cafe near the Louvre in Paris.

		There are bistro/delis in Montreal which serve Croque Monsieur et Croque Madame.
		I rather like them; I prefer Croque over American-style pizza, which is often too tart and overcooked.

	emerils.com \| notes from the kitchen
		There are two schools of thought behind the preparation of a croque monsieur.
		One holds that it must have a béchamel sauce; the other is that sauce or no, plain Swiss cheese will not do, it must be Swiss Gruyere.
		As you bite the sandwich it oozes the deliciously rich, creamy center.
