Ingredients

What you'll need

  • 1 lb croque monsieur
  • 1 medium unsalted butter
  • 1 lb shallot
  • a pinch fresh thyme
  • 4 oz dry white wine
  • 1/4 cup kosher salt
  • 2 tbsp cracked black pepper
  • to taste good finishing oil
Method

Step by step

  1. Pat the croque monsieur dry and season it well so it browns instead of steaming.
  2. Get your pan hot and render the aromatics until they smell sweet and toasty.
  3. Return the croque monsieur, add just enough liquid, and simmer until everything is tender.
  4. Taste, brighten with a squeeze of citrus, and plate while it is still hot.
