I love France. I love the weather, the fashion, the people ,
and most importantly the food. French people get food. They make flavourful food, and spent the time enjoying it. I may have caused a few French strokes with my bastardised version of their classic ham and grilled cheese sandwich.
I love a traditional croque monsieur, with ham and whacking slices of freshly
made bread. But, needs must, and sometimes you want an indulgent sandwich with
just the ingredients in the cupboard and fridge.
Truth be told, I was pretty keen to make my own bread, but I
didn’t have time. So I substituted in the thick granary bread, and decided to
spice things up Italy style, with some strongly spiced sliced meats instead of
the ham. You would be perfectly welcome to slice up some sourdough and use ham
instead of pepperoni/salami.
I had mine with soup. And I was so happy.
