Method

Want to learn how to make the perfect Croque Monsieur? All you have to do is follow the instructions below.

Preheat the oven to 220°C, gas mark 7.

Thinly scrape the low-fat spread over one side of each bread slice, as thinly as possible. Place the bread, spread-side down, on a clean work surface or plate.

Mix together the grated Cheddar, mustard, crème fraîche and Worcestershire sauce and spread over 1 slice of bread, right up to the edges. Top with the ham and then cover with the remaining slice of bread, spread-side up.

Place the sandwich on a baking sheet and sprinkle with grated Cheddar. Cook in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes until the cheese has melted and the bread is crisp and golden brown.

Cut the sandwich into quarters and serve immediately.
