Croque Madame at the Guest House
December 17, 2011 – 11:27 pm
At the American Guest House Bed and Breakfast, we enjoy and love cooking! And more than everything, we LOVE sharing our favorite recipes with you! Tomorrow morning , our guests will try the croque Madame…
Croque madame is a “variation” of the Croque Monsieur (originated in France) which is a hot ham and cheese ( emmental or gruyère) grilled sandwich but with a fried egg or poached egg on top… And better it’s coated on Bechamel sauce!
Here is the recipe for 4 sandwiches (15 minutes to prepare):
Ingredients
- 8 slices whole wheat bread
- 8 slices of Gruyere, very thinly sliced
- 8 slices of ham, very thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 4 extra-large eggs
- Salt and pepper
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Butter 1 side of each bread slice.
First toast your bread with a toaster (30 seconds) or in the oven (5 minutes).
When it’s done put 1 slice of the ham over the cheese, and place the top slice of bread over the ham, buttered side up. Heat griddle or skillet over medium heat. Cook sandwiches until bottom is golden brown and cheese is melted, about 3 minutes per side.
And then place a slice of cheese on top ! Put the sandwiches back onto the griddle or skillet then place in oven, cooking until golden brown and cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
Cook each egg sunny side up and place 1 fried egg atop each sandwich. Suggestion: add Bechamel sauce inside your sandwiches.

The White House Tour, Washington DC
December 13, 2011 – 9:33 pm
Of course there is the national mall and all of the amazing Smithsonian Exhibits, but when in DC don’t forget to see the White House! The White House Tour takes some preparation as you will need to seek out a pass from your states congressional office. For those visitors from abroad, please see your local DC embassy for details on acquiring this pass. Tours are offered in the early morning hours for security reasons, so it is wise to try to get your pass the day before your projected tour.
