Tip

Don’t hesitate to use smoked ham, as this will give your croque-monsieur a nice aroma.

And for those with a sweet tooth, an extra slice of Cheddar cheese isn’t out of the question.

Preparation steps

Step 1
Rinse the eggplant and cut into 8 slices of equal thickness.
Be careful not to make the slices too thick, as they may barely cook when cooked.
Step 2
Rinse the tomatoes and cut into 4 thick slices.
Step 3
In a ramekin, mix the crème fraîche with the mustard.
Season with salt and pepper.
Step 4
Now proceed to assemble the croques-monsieur.
Place the eggplant slices on a sheet of baking paper or silicone baking mat.
Spread a first layer of cream over 4 slices.
Step 5
Then place a slice of Cheddar cheese on top.
Step 6
Add a slice of tomato.
Step 7
Cut the ham into 4 and place the slices on top of the tomatoes.
Finally, place the last 4 slices of eggplant on top of the ham.
Step 8
Finish by spreading the remaining cream on each remaining slice of eggplant, then sprinkle with a pinch of Gruyère cheese.
Place in the oven for 20 minutes at 180 degrees.
