8 slices of crust less white bread
4 tbs heavy cream

  • Cover the pan and simmer on both sides until done, checking frequently [about 10 minutes].
  • Note 1:  You can make this recipe into one for a Croque-Madame by sautéing an egg, sunny-side up, sprinkled with salt, pepper and herbs and placing it on top of the Croque-Monsieur.
