  Croque Monsieur Ham and Cheese Sandwich Recipe | Simply Recipes
According to About.com the word croque comes from the verb croquer or "to crunch".
I make croques monsieur (the plural is definitely croques monsieur, not messieurs..) often for my dear husband, but since I live in England, I make an English variant of it, with mature (or even extra mature) cheddar, and instead of the bechamel, I just put crème fraîche under the ham on both slices of bread.
I worked out for an hour earlier in the day to prepare for eating my croque monsieur in the evening, but it was worth it.

  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.
