How to Make Croque Monsieur Bake
- Preheat oven to 390°F (199°C).
- Spread 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard on one side of each slice of bread.
- Layer 2 slices of Gruyere cheese (about 1/4 cup shredded per sandwich) and 2 slices of Black Forest ham (about 2 ounces) between two slices of bread to make two sandwiches.
- Carefully cut each sandwich in half diagonally to form triangles.
- Arrange the sandwich triangles snugly in a 27x21x6cm (approximately 10.6x8.3x2.4 inch) ovenproof dish.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 cup of whole milk, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Gently pour the egg mixture evenly over the sandwiches, ensuring they are mostly submerged.
- Cover the dish tightly with cling film (plastic wrap) and refrigerate overnight (at least 8 hours).
- The next day, remove the cling film and sprinkle the top generously with an additional 1/4 cup of shredded Gruyere cheese.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly, and the custard is set.
