High Plains Lockdown Fridge Dive - Croque Madame (Pt 5 of X?) w/ Pr0n!

[ShadowDriver]

So... there I was... (WHERE WERE YOU!?)

... trying to sleep at 0430 on Monday, when my belly argued the fact that it was hungry enough to awake me. I persisted and managed to quell the need with a HUGE vat of coffee and a read through of "The Good Shepherd" by CS Forester (Tom Hanks "Greyhound" is loosely based on the book).

Meanwhile, I convinced CINCHOUSE to watch the video with me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7yLHhEv91U&t=1s

Alton Brown speaks the truth. This is not difficult, but is ah-mazingly delicious.

Please, y'all... be safe. Stay home. Be safe and look after those you love.

A good variation of this recipe is to extend the bechamel into a mornay sauce. I like a combo of cheddar and Gruyere.

Baby steps. I'm learning.... and damn, it's good!

Thanks,
Greg

We watched a whole mess of videos on the subject before diving in. Alton speaks truth.

If you've not watched his pantry raid videos during the quarantine.... you're missing out.

You’re doing great! I’m really enjoying your posts.

That looks delicious. Did you try the egg version. We may try it if we have the ingredients in the house.

If you mean the Croque Monsieur with a fried egg on top (Croque Madame), we sure did! It was awesome.

Looks great Marc.

This makes me miss my toaster oven.

Grand Slam. Strut the bases

This makes me miss my toaster oven.

Our toaster oven died about 6 months ago, and we just recently replaced it with a Breville Smart Oven Pro. Worth. Every. Penny. We hardly use the big/regular oven any longer!

I can now also attest to the fact that 1/2 of a croque madam is perfect for breakfast.

Awesome, thanks for the link.

Need to attempt this soon!

Looks fantastic! I'm feeling all bloated and fat right now so it's gonna be minute till I try it though. Hopefully I'll get over that feeling by...lunch? :hungry:
