to the dish. You can see the recipe on my blog: http://beeapproved.com/best-recipes/best\\... An uitsmijter is one of my abiding tastes of childhood and Saturday shopping trips, to Roermond or Venlo, from Germany where I lived. I still make it regularly. Two large slices of fresh white bread, generously buttered, two slices of good quality ham on top and two fried eggs. NO cheese. This may be a variation, but NO cheese is usual. In Germany in the seventies if invited to someone's house for Abendbrot, it was invariably Hawaian toast. Two slices of ghastly toast bread (smaller than UK sliced bread), but not toasted, a slice of ham on top, a ring of pineapple and a slice of grilled processed cheese. Can't remember if the bread was buttered. They do a decent one in the Cafe de la Tour in Calais. Always have one when we're over for a booze cruise. Recently came back from a holiday in Italy and after two weeks of foreign food I had an overwhelming craving for... Croque Monsieur. Mine was very similar to Felicity's recipe, although without the the mustard and with five minutes in the oven to get it nice and hot. It was awesome! I made one for each of the four of us, and I have never seen food disappear so fast in my life! The Husband, meanwhile, downloaded some French accordian music to accompany this feast. Salut! Felicity you mention Saveurs magazine. I buy a copy whenever I go to
