grilled -- or even topped with a fried egg or, God forbid, a pineapple ring? Comments Living in australia, never had a a "real" Croque monsieur They did this version on a SBS Food Program "French Food Safari" it was explained that Croque meant Crack. This recipe does crack and can be eaten with the hands making it a sandwich rather than a plate meal. Butter the bread slices on one side and turn over. Cover with a layer of cheese, followed by jamon. Repeat. Top with another bread slice, buttered side up. Place on a tray and bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the bread is toasted. I promise you, if we don't have gruyere we won't have Comte Felicity! Never even heard of it, I'm afraid. Indonesian cuisine is dairy-free, generally. On my next visit to the Western supermarket in Bandung (a 14-hour round trip - God, I'm dedicated!) I'll pick up some Aussie Cheddar and some UHT double cream (just in case Felicity goes with my profiterole plea). Cooking by the seat of my pants, maybe, but I love a challenge! Well I hope the powers that be that run the Caf Rouge franchise are reading this as the one I had there recently was inedible. Even the manager agreed it was limp, soggy and disgusting and knocked it off the bill. I just typed "croque" into Google translate and it came up with "undertaker". I live in France
