Croque-monsieur
Croque-monsieur, literally translated as “crunch-sir”, is a hot sandwich made of ham and cheese. It’s served as a quick snack in French cafés and bars.
Here are the ingredients to make a plant-based version:
- bread slices
- vegan butter (I use Earth Balance)
- vegan cheese slices (I use Violife cheddar)
- Tofurky deli slices
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Butter one side of each bread slice. Place half of the slices in the pan, buttered side down. On each slice in the pan, layer: one slice of cheese, one slice of Tofurky, and one more slice of cheese. Top each sandwich with a remaining bread slice, buttered side up. Cover the pan with a lid to retain heat. Cook until the bottom is golden brown, then flip the sandwiches. Cook until the other side is also golden brown. Serve hot with a green salad.
Bon appétit!
