Cover 6 slices of bread each with a slice of Emmenthal cheese, a slice of ham and another slice of Emmenthal. Top with another slice of bread. Trim the edges of the filling. Melt a piece of butter in the frying pan. Put in the croque-monsieur sandwiches, do not let them overlap. Brown one side over a very moderate heat. Use a spatula and a fork to turn to brown the other side, adding some butter. Fry slowly to prevent the butter from burning and to allow the cheese to start melting slowly and to stick to the bread. Once browned, put the croque-monsieur one by one into a half-open hot oven to bake further before serving hot and crispy. Serve as an appetizer or a light dinner with a green salad.

We recommend you serve a red Gaillac with these croque-monsieur sandwiches.
