How to Make Rachael Ray's Deviled Ham Croque Madame
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a food processor, combine the chopped ham, Dijon mustard, Tabasco sauce, smoked paprika, parsley, grated onion, and freshly ground black pepper. Process until finely chopped and well combined.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth. Season with salt and nutmeg. Continue whisking until the sauce thickens to coat the back of a spoon.
- Arrange bread slices on a baking sheet. Spread the deviled ham mixture evenly over the bread.
- Top each slice with 4 asparagus spears.
- Pour the bechamel sauce over the asparagus, then sprinkle with Gruyere cheese.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
- While the sandwiches are baking, cook the eggs to your liking (sunny-side up or over easy recommended).
- Top each baked sandwich with a cooked egg.
- Serve immediately with cornichons and extra Dijon mustard.
