    Can substitute Emmenthaler cheese for Gruyère cheese. For a Croque-madame, replace ham with cooked chicken breast.

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    This particular croques-monsieur recipe does not call for béchamel sauce. That simplifies the preparation. Without the sauce, I think something else is needed for interest. Next time I make this I will add some mustard when assembling the sandwiches.
