Instructions

6 steps

1
Assemble and bake the base: Build the sandwich with Dijon, ham, and half the Gruyère between the toasted sourdough slices. Top with the béchamel sauce and the remaining Gruyère.

2
Broil the sandwich on a baking sheet for 3-5 minutes until the topping is bubbly and golden brown.
3
While the sandwich is under the broiler, heat a small non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Melt the butter until it starts to foam gently.
4
Crack the egg into the skillet and cook slowly for 3-4 minutes. You want the whites completely set and opaque, but the yolk must remain runny. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
5
Carefully remove the hot, bubbling Croque Monsieur from the oven and transfer it to a warm plate.
6
Using a delicate spatula, gently slide the sunny-side-up egg directly onto the top of the melted cheese sauce. Serve immediately, allowing the yolk to act as a rich sauce when broken.
