How to Make Croute Savoyarde

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F / Gas Mark 6).
  2. Brush baguette slices with minced garlic and olive oil. Grill or broil until golden brown and crispy.
  3. Arrange the toasted baguette slices in a baking dish. Drizzle with half of the white wine.
  4. Melt butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Add shallots and sauté for 1 minute until softened.
  5. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Pour in the remaining white wine and cook for 1 minute, allowing the alcohol to evaporate slightly.
  7. Stir in the heavy cream and heat through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Arrange Parma ham slices over the baguette in the baking dish.
  9. Spoon the creamy mushroom mixture evenly over the ham.
  10. Sprinkle generously with Gruyère cheese and drizzle with Kirsch (if using).
  11. Bake for 7-8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.
  12. Serve immediately with a fresh green salad.
