Croque-Madame for Monsieur

Since I'm such a Francophile,
I celebrate Bastille Day.

Plus it's a great excuse to leave up all my 4th of July decor and the hubs gets to eat meat.

So in honor of Bastille Day,

I bring you a Croque-Madame and les frites (Basically it's just a fancy grilled cheese sandwich with ham and egg with fries on the side).

1 large croissant, split in half
1 Tbsp Butter
Mayo
Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper
Gruyere or Swiss cheese, sliced
Ham, the hubs use Petit Jean peppered ham
1 egg

preheat oven to 400 degrees. Put butter in skillet and heat over medium. Add croissant, top with mayo, mustard, salt and pepper. Add cheese, ham and grill on both sides until lightly browned and the cheese is melted. Remove sandwich from skillet, then cook 1 egg over easy. Place sandwich and put egg on top into a oven safe pan and bake for 5 minutes.
Bon Appetit!
