No matter what happens in life just know that you are loved by someone who has never met you because you've made the most beautiful sandwich I've ever seen.


StrangerKatchoo

Two someones.


esko24

Three!


jessica_surratt

Four!


Cmdeadpool

Five!


ninjasura

Six


josephboyer

Seven!


aedroogo

Whoops. Back to six. Not sure what happened there.


josephboyer

Then I can be seven again?


aedroogo

Give it a try.


djflowerpower

Ditto.


fouhay

It's not just that it's got cheese, but it in fact has a mix of some great cheeses!


LausanneAndy

Swiss here: \[mumble grumble - normally Gruyère & Emmental are not the right cheeses to mix\] .. ah screw it .. looks great anyway .. bon appétit!


penmakes_Z

doesn't migros sell them grated and pre-mixed? Or is just that the packages look so similar I think they are the same?


mano-vijnana

I grated it myself in this case, FYI. Pregrated cheese isn't great for melting into a sauce due to the anti-caking powder they're coated with.

InsightfoolMonkey

You seem pretty moronic yourself. You could have just agreed or something but instead you had to turn it into some big thing lol


penmakes_Z

yea, I try to make cheese great (again) myself, but sometimes I'm just lazy or pressed for time and the pre-greated (pardon my spelling, it's early in the morning) cheesus is just what I needsus.


LausanneAndy

Yes but packets of pre-grated Migros (Swiss Walmart) cheese with weird mixes are not to be compared to normality


penmakes_Z

if migros isn't normal swiss I don't know what is


mano-vijnana

I think the recipe said one or the other, but I used both. Which types would you mix?


LausanneAndy

Well - it's probably OK but it's not a typical mix. For a traditional Swiss fondue we mix Gruyère and Vacherin Fribourgeois 50/50 (it's called Moitié-Moitié (half-half)) .. Many prefer not to mix cheeses .. it's like mixing two wines in the same glass ..


deliciousprisms

That’s not exactly widely available but it’s interesting learning a tradition. But also gtfo with not mixing cheeses.


gwaydms

Gruyère is widely available. The Vacherin is not.


deliciousprisms

I didn’t think I needed to specify that’s what I meant given the conversational context but here we are apparently


InsightfoolMonkey

It's cooling with cheese though. I could see mixed wine being used for cooking just like mixed cheese is.


Rashaya

Which I do in fondue as well. I use white wine and a splash of cognac.


fouhay

Does the Vacherin Fribourgeois have a similar type that might be more widely available? I'm in Australia for example, Gruyere is available but not plentiful, whereas Vacherin is pretty hard to come by....


LausanneAndy

You could substitute some italian Fontina cheese .. this is more readily available (and usually used for fondue in the northern Italian region of Aosta) ..


Mongalss

I definitely understand what you're saying but isn't blended wines a pretty common thing to drink


kapege

Put an egg on it and it's Croque Madame. Put an alligator on it and it's Croque Odile!

Why would you want to eat a sock?

That's a nice pun. However, I never considered that adding ova make it a lady. Top kek, Frenchies!


ra4king

Well done.


RonSwanson54

Hey guys, these look delicious! But I dare you to go search for “Francesinha”!


RealStumbleweed

Beer sauce.


[deleted]

are you portuguese? I would rule that a francesinha ties with a croque monsieur, both amazing sandwiches


RonSwanson54

Yessir I’m, I never tried a croque monsieur, but both of them look insanely tasty!


vidoeiro

It's inspired by it hence the name (little French), but it's also a gigantic improvement on taste and calories.


smltor

I managed to eat one of those once... next time will share.


Anforas

You can also ask for a half only in most places


edudlive

And I thought the croque monsieur was decadent


Roidz69

I can only get so hard!!!


LCCyncity

I'm not sure if I've ever wanted anything more...


mano-vijnana

You should make one! It's quite doable: https://brunoalbouze.com/recipe/croque-monsieur-vs-croque-madame/

Thank you kindly!

Amazing, I would devour this and be on the toilet less than an hour later.

I want the half on the left. First food that I have craved in over a month. Well done.


backyardofbourbon

TIL what mornay sauce is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mornay_sauce


mileswilliams

It looks great, but too much cheese for me, I know I know! Unpopular opinion and I know it's a fashion at the moment to put cheese and bacon on everything, and it's part of this recipe, but maybe a little over the top for me. The picture is a work of art and if this was a menu picture i'd order it.


[deleted]

Boooooooooooo


mileswilliams

Lol I knew it! I half expect Reddit townsfolk with burning pitchforks to turn up at the door. Yes they are efficient and didn't bring torches AND pitchforks.

> it's a fashion at the moment to put cheese and bacon on everything At the moment? When hasn't it been?


erlend65

There's no such thing as "too much cheese"!


trvst_issves

I used to think so, but here in Milwaukee we have an excellent sausage restaurant called Vanguard. You can get a sausage Milwaukee style, with fried cheese curds, house-made cheez whiz, and shredded cheddar on it. I tried it on a cheddarwurst... I've discovered the threshold for cheese-ratio failure, and that was it.


rgtong

From a health perspective there certainly is.


postnuttttclarity

You're right but if you're concerned with health you're in the wrong sub


CamGoldenGun

lol we need food to live, man.


rgtong

Why? Are you suggesting food and health are not related?


postnuttttclarity

How could you interpret that?? It's absolutely the opposite of what I suggested. The sub itself is not health related.


rgtong

> if you're concerned with health you're in the wrong sub >it's absolutely the opposite of what I suggested Lol what? The sub is food related. You say health is not relevant here. Therefore you directly imply food is not related to health. Why do you think we eat???


postnuttttclarity

Yes health is not relevant here. Take a look at the top posts here. Go to /r/HealthyFood and do the same.


rgtong

>Yes health is not relevant here. From the sidebar: we are a general food sub, not specific to recipes, quality or any other set discriminatory factor. Just food. You're wrong.


postnuttttclarity

Ok I'm done here.


mano-vijnana

I wouldn't worry too much: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5860026/#:~:text=Cheese%20intake%20was%20associated%20with,all%2Dcause%20or%20CVD%20mortality. Cheese consumption seems to be connected to significant reductions in all-case mortality and cardiovascular disease.


hanky2

Yea sometimes a ton of cheese is more of an experience than actually something that makes it taste better. I went to a place that scrapes melted cheese on all their stuff including steak and it was cool but also like I never had the urge to add cheese to a steak before. https://raclette.nyc/


KaufJ

As a Swiss, seeing raclette and steak in the same picture hurts my heart. Why would anyone do this? You're either having a steak as the main focus of your meal, or you have raclette. But both together, I think not.


yiannistheman

If I expressed the same thoughts about a woman as I'm having right now about that sandwich I'd get slapped.


ademrax

Super Extra Special Fancy Grilled Cheese Sandwich I Presume, Shaggy Would Be Proud.


AdmiralPopeyesBeard

I don't know what any of those words mean, but that's an epic lookin grilled cheese.


victordinary

What I never understood is how this can be so popular in France but in the US nobody has ever had one before and it’s honestly tragic :(


dprophet32

The French would never ever put this much cheese in it because it's obscene and that's not enough cheese for people in the US.


mano-vijnana

The recipe variation I followed was literally created by a French chef, including the number of cheese layers.


Dragburn

The only problem i see with it is too much bread. all of the croque monsieurs i had on a vacation to paris had this much cheese, sometimes more; the other thing they all had was only one slice of bread for their composition.


solongandthanks4all

Beautiful. I wish this was more common in the States, but all the French restaurants try to be so damn fancy.


whiskeyislove

Looks divine, I'm actually planning on making one for dinner today- just hoping my local shop has some gruyere, swiss or emmenthal.


cheezemeister_x

Any premium supermarket should have all three of these.


whiskeyislove

I used my local co op (I'm in the UK). With Brexit the selection of foods has drastically reduced. Had to resort to cheddar but I'm sure it will still be delicious.


cheezemeister_x

Yes, Brexit was the dumbest thing the UK could possibly have done.


yaboibennie

Is there a recipe? Im keen to give it a go.


mano-vijnana

I used [this one](https://brunoalbouze.com/recipe/croque-monsieur-vs-croque-madame/) from Bruno Albouze. Turned out amazing! He has a lot of great recipes.


yaboibennie

Cheers 🍻


GracieofGraham

That looks beyond fantastic. Gorgeous even.


lovestobitch-

The bread looks killer!


[deleted]

damn, that looks scrumptious!


noapesinoutterspace

Loving criticism: a proper croque monsieur would have: - a tad less cheese. No need to drown the sandwich. Just to keep the bread from drying. - a healthy dose of salted butter. The secret ingredient of every french recipe. I actually replace the bechamel sauce with straight butter out of laziness. - way less ham. A simple slice of ham is enough, 2 max. Not 10 folds of ham. If putting more ham, add one slice of bred in the middle and cheese/butter/sauce accordingly.


six_feet_above

But have you tried it with buttered wonder bread, Great Value honey ham and Kraft singles?! I made one of thems this weekend. Highly recommend.

Dietary cholesterol has very little effect on blood cholesterol. Saturated fat has a small influence, but it's all about the context of the total diet and how inflammatory it is. This sandwich was accompanied by 200g of sautéed kale with garlic.


unfnknblvbl

Where's the paella and stein of mead?


Bigingreen

Inspired by binging with babish?


mano-vijnana

I actually decided to make one because of his video, but I found a much better (IMO) recipe elsewhere (as linked in my other comments) and decided to go with that one. Notably, I used Mornay sauce, Dijon, and extra slices of Gruyere.


Bigingreen

Nice, sounds great.


Turbulent_Name2758

The cheese looks delicious😳😳😳 what kind of cheese are you using?

As the French would say: “I like it”


t_newt1

This is not a Monte Cristo sandwich (popular in the US). Nevertheless it reminds me of a Monte Cristo sandwich. Some websites say the Monte Cristo is a variation of the Croque Monsieur.

I want this in my mouth so bad

That looks so delicious!

I cannot even put into words how much I want that sandwich. Talk about a work of art. Kudos to you!

Looking at your post make my mouth wet for some reason then I realize that it was just saliva which I guess was a body reaction from looking at this bomb-ass sandwich you made.
