Traditionally, a Croque Monsieur is served as a hot sandwich and consists of ham and cheese sandwiched between two slices of bread, then topped with béchamel sauce and more cheese, and then toasted or baked until golden brown and melty. In the case of this open-face version, the sandwich is prepared similarly but with only one piece of bread (actually a delicious dinner roll!) as the base. This creates a rich, savory, and indulgent dish that’s perfect for brunch.
