Croque Madame - Ham, Egg & Cheese on Bread

This is a well known dish on most French breakfast / lunch menu.  Here is a simplified version and has been my children's favourite breakfast meal.

Croque Madame with ham, egg and Gruyère cheese on sweet bread roll.

Ingredients :
1 sweet bread roll
1 slice of ham
1 egg
2 tbsp Gruyère shredded cheese

Methods :
1. Slice the bread roll in the middle & open the roll flat.
2. Spread butter on the bread, then add the ham.
3. Cook the egg over a pan ( sunny side up ) until all white is cooked.  Slowly transfer the egg onto the ham.
4. Sprinkle cheese on the egg.
5. Put into the toaster / oven grill mode.
6. Grill for 5 mins or less until all the cheese melted.
7. Serve hot.

Chin's notes :
1. If you prefer the yolk well done, cook the egg accordingly.
2. If you prefer tasted bread, toast them before you add on the butter & ham.
3. You can use any kind of cheese that you prefer.

Bon appétit
