Casse Croûte

Recipe by: Currabinny Cooks

This is sort of a rough and tumble Croque Madame using a thick slice of leftover bread and some other bits and bobs. We have made this a few times now and it honestly tops making a real croque, mostly because you don’t have to go to the trouble of making

Ingredients

  • 1 thick slice of leftover bread

  • 2-3 tbsp chicken stock or gravy

  • Few thin slices of good ham

  • Few thin slices of good quality cheddar, gruyere or other farmhouse cheese

  • 50g butter

  • 1 organic egg

  • Sea salt

  • Freshly cracked black pepper

Method

  1. Head the butter in a small grill pan or frying pan so that it is bubbly and melty. Place the slice of bread on the hot buttery pan, toasting it on the bottom. Drizzle over a few tablespoons of gravy or stock to moisten the bread.

  2. Place the slices of ham and then the cheese on top of the bread. Crack an egg on top season well with sea salt and black pepper and then place under a hot grill until the egg whites are cooked and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve.
