A few weeks ago I went to see the movie It's Complicated with my mother. If you haven't seen it yet, you have to go. It is hysterical. It reminds me a little of Something's Gotta Give. It made me have a desire to make Croque Monsieur. Here is a wonderful, light recipe that Mr. Farmhouse loved. I used organic ham and Gruyère cheese with truffle mustard - simple and delicious.
Dijon Croque Monsieur
Time: 30 minutes
Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients
1 tablespoon whole-grain Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon fat-free mayonnaise
8 (1-ounce) slices Italian bread
6 ounces thinly sliced ham
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Gruyère cheese
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup egg substitute
1/4 cup fat-free milk
Cooking spray
Preparation
1. Combine mustard and mayonnaise in a small bowl. Spread 3/4 teaspoon mustard mixture over each of 4 bread slices; layer each slice with 1 1/2 ounces ham and 1/4 cup cheese. Sprinkle evenly with pepper. Spread 3/4 teaspoon mayonnaise mixture over each remaining bread slice; place, mustard side down, on top of sandwiches.
2. Combine egg substitute and fat-free milk in a shallow dish. Dip both sides of each sandwich into the egg mixture.
3. Heat a large nonstick griddle or skillet over medium heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add sandwiches to pan; cook 3 minutes on each side or until lightly browned and cheese melts.
