Madame Cristo, Ane Presume

I was attempting to practise a piddling twist on the venerable Croque Madame, yesteryear soaking the toast inwards a custard batter earlier frying, instead of topping it alongside the commons white sauce, but when I’d finished, I realized what I actually had created was a Monte Cristo alongside a poached egg on top. These things volition happen.

It was amazingly delicious, but I decided it wasn’t unopen plenty to telephone band a Croque Madame, which is when I turned to Twitter for help. This is never a skillful idea, but this fourth dimension it totally worked out, every bit to a greater extent than or less dude who goes yesteryear the name, Zap Shakur (@zapshakur), suggested I become alongside “Madame Cristo,” too the residue is history.

If you’re but making i or two, experience complimentary to poach your eggs correct earlier the sandwiches are done, but for larger parties, you’ll desire to cheque out this poached egg video, which shows a cracking make-ahead method for serving multiple poached eggs at the same time. This is precisely how it’s done inwards restaurants, where cooking to lodge would move around impossible.

If yous are feeding a larger group, yous tin terminate brand your sandwiches ahead, too thence but move along them inwards a warm oven, until you're ready to overstep alongside the poached eggs. But, whether you’re making this for 2 or twenty, I actually practise promise yous plough over it a testify soon. Enjoy!
