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

Ingredients

  • Eggplant : 1 
  • Tomato : 1 
  • Cheddar (Slices) : 4 
  • Crème fraîche 40% (Heavy) : 4 tablespoons

  • Salt : 1 pinch
  • Pepper : 1 pinch

Preparation steps

  • 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.

  • Rinse the tomatoes and cut into 4 thick slices.

  • In a ramekin, mix the crème fraîche with the mustard.
    Season with salt and pepper.

  • 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.

  • Then place a slice of Cheddar cheese on top.

  • Add a slice of tomato.

  • 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.

  • 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.
