Despite this not being a completely authentic Croque Monsieur/Croque Madame I subscribed to Mr. G. Culinary because I think there's a lot of potential there as it's a quality video and he seems to have some talent. This is a very Americanized version to be sure but as a French chef once pointed out to me, "You can do whatever you want with it!". I would like to see more very specifically traditional recipes but at the same time I'm also very interested in culinary fusion and this is a springboard for ideas. I have some leftover Turkish beef pasterma and tulum cheese so why not use those? ~ I think I will!

Thank you! I'm learning that this version is not 1,000% "authentic", but I tell you what it's still amazing (and terrible for you haha)

Not every French chef in France cooks everything the exact same allegedly authentic way. I've eaten a few of these in France and I had one that it's pretty much like this.

I agree. There should only be one recipe for everything. Therefore, only one cookbook is needed. There should never be any variations. One-trick pony is where it's at. Everyone should cook exactly the same. One cookbook, one chef, only one cooking channel, no new ideas. Keep everything authentic even though a really good recipe can be altered to taste, if you don't keep it 100% authentic, don't make it!

You’re 10,000% right.. or griddle it in a large sauté pan so all the butter stays in contact with the sandwich Not gonna lie, I have cringed a little each time I see that precious butter peace out away from the sandwich

HOLY MELTED CHEESE BATMAN , THAT LOOKS SO BAD ASS. May attempt to make tjat sauce, but have a felling I will butcher and will end up buying some of that o buying some Hollandaise sauce and see how that would taste. None the less looks good.

Hmmmm hollandaise sounds like an interesting choice and I’d imagine the flavors would match well, albeit maybe a bit heavy.. but to be fair if you’re eating a croque monsieur, you’re not exactly counting calories I suppose haha

Croque Monsieur/Madame needs Mornay sauce, not Bechamel sauce!
@mr.g.culinary
Жыл бұрын
Ah, so this is an interesting point! There are some recipes that are made using a Mornay sauce (A Bechamel derivative sauce where cheese is added to the sauce.. think a Mac & Cheese sauce base); essentially putting the cheese element of the sandwich into the sauce rather than just on the sandwich. Other recipes, like this one, use a Bechamel Sauce and have the cheese separate. I personally have had both and personally I like it with the Bechamel a tiiiiiiiny bit better but honestly let's be real, it's a great sandwich either way!

The way my Grandma used to make it. And also she would use the govment cheese. And sometimes she'd make it with with a lightly salted & peppered sunny side up egg in the middle. Oh, the days of care free yet disciplined living. This way looks good too. Especially with egg on top.
