Croque Monsieur #SundaySupper

August 25, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 68 Comments

Hi Everyone!

Happy Sunday to you!  Today I am heading home from my weekend in Baton Rouge, I can’t wait to tell you all about my trip, but that shall come later this week!  🙂  Speaking of travels, last year I went to Paris France for a work trip, best work trip ever!  My friend Diane and I stayed in Paris for a few extra days to take in the sites.  I just fell in love with the city!  Unfortunately for being July it was cold, windy and rainy when we were there.  However, I did manage to take in a few sites, but one thing I do remember about Paris is the food!   My eyes lite up, my stomach grumbled and all I could think about was lattes, bread and pastries.  Ohhhh, the beautiful food in Paris!  I ate so many wonderful treats like croissants, macaroons, cheese and my first time ever having Nutella.  I was in heaven!  I swear Parisian food was made for me!  Paris has everything I love, bread, oatmeal, bread, yogurt, bread, pastries and so on….  You get the point, I love my bread.  But the one thing I regret not trying were the little sandwiches that I saw everywhere.  These little sandwiches were so adorable, they were made on a baguette and contained different fillings from ham, chicken, turkey and veggies,  Why didn’t I get one?  I guess it’s a great excuse to go back to Paris???  Anyway,  our assignment for this weeks #SundaySupper was to make Global Street Food.   I originally thought pizza from Italy or Beef Gyros from Greece, but then I thought about those sandwiches in Paris, so I had to create the sandwich that I never tried.  Let me introduce to you Croque Monsieur.  Sounds pretty doesn’t it?

Croque Monsieur

Croque Monsieur is a french sandwich that consists of hot ham and Gruyere cheese that is fried in butter.  There are different variations of the sandwich, but I took the basic idea of the sandwich and made it to where I know my Husband would eat it too!  When I told him I was making a sandwich that I saw in Paris that consists of ham and cheese on a baguette, he was all over it and said ok.  He couldn’t argue too much since we are sandwich lovers in our house, plus it consists of ham, one of his favorites.  However, when were at the store he had different ideas to what should go on his french sandwich.  Needless to say, we ended up with completely different sandwiches.  lol

Croque Monsieur


My Croque Monsieur is made with lean deli ham, Pepper  Jack Cheese instead of Gruyere and sliced apples.  I topped my sandwich with a mixture of fat-free mayonnaise and dijon mustard.  I don’t like the taste of fat-free mayo, but since I had it, I thought mixing mustard in it would mask the flavor of the mayo and you know what?  It did!  The mayo mixture tasted wonderful!!  I was quite surprised!!

Croque Monsieur

The sandwich is sweet from the apples and savory from the ham and mayo mixture.  This makes for a wonderful meal and it’s very filling!!  For calorie saving, I hollowed out the center of my baguette and used Sargento Ultra Thin Pepper Jack Cheese.  The sandwich is still a little high in calories, but if it’s a meal, then you are ok!  Plus the best part besides the taste is that I didn’t crave an evening snack!!!  Another bonus about this recipe besides the flavor is that it only takes a few minutes to make!  So if you’re in a rush this sandwich is perfect!  You could even slice it into mini sandwiches and serve at a party!

A sweet and savory Parisian sandwich served on a french baguette filled with ham, apples and a mayonnaise and mustard spread.
Serves: 1 6" sandwich
Ingredients
  • 1 6" french baguette (100 grams hollowed out)
  • 3 slices ham, reduced fat (42 grams)
  • ¼ cup apple, sliced thin (29 grams)
  • 2 slices Pepper Jack Cheese or Gruyere cheese (I used Sargento Ultra Thin)
  • 1 tbsp. mayonnaise, fat free
  • ½ tbsp. dijon mustard
Instructions
  1. Preheat broiler to low
  2. Add aluminium foil to a cookie sheet, set aside
  3. Cut baguette length down the center, to make two slices of bread. Hollow out the inside of the bread to make more room for filling. On the bottom half of the baguette, add ham, apple slices and then cheese. Place both slices of baguette in the broiler and cook until cheese is melted, about 1 minute. Watch so you don't burn the bread.
  4. Meanwhile; in a small bowl add mayonnaise and mustard, and mix until combined. Add to the inside of the top piece of baguette, place slice over the melted cheese slice. Serve and enjoy!

Croque Monsieur

I thought since my Husband loved the idea of a sandwich for dinner that was made with ham and cheese, that I would show you the sandwich he created.  It’s served on half an Italian Loaf of bread.  Yes, half a large loaf!  It’s loaded with ham, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and Italian Dressing.  He had fun making his own sandwich!  The sandwich is is as big as my head!!!

Wally Ham and Cheese Sandwich

I really enjoyed today’s #SundaySupper!  I love food that you can get on the street.  Sounds kind of weird doesn’t it.  lol  Give my finger food and I am one happy camper!!!  I look forward to seeing what the others have made!

Have a great rest of the weekend!

Peace out my friends!

Toodles,

Jennifer

    You cannot beat melted cheese on bread especially when it’s French! Paris may be known as the City of Lights…but maybe a more accurate name would be the City of Food Fantastique!

    Croque monsieurs are the best! You can’t go wrong with butter fried bread, melted cheese and ham, yum… I love your version with the apples. Fruit in sandwiches always tastes good. Have you ever had a croque madam? It’s basically a croque monsieur with a fried egg on top, although I’ve also had it smothered in a white gravy. You definitely need to go back to Paris to eat these sandwiches. Let me know when so that I can join you! 😉

Happy Thursday! I am a day ahead of myself this w Happy Thursday!  I am a day ahead of myself this week. I thought yesterday was Thursday and I was excited because I thought today was Friday. I knew what day of the week it was, but my brain didn’t get it. Does that ever happen to you?

I’m sharing with you my new dog bone container that I got from @outshine_co. Oh my gosh Sampson loves it! Mom, move out of the way, I’m taking over!!
🐶
Hi all! This is Sammy here! I just have to tell you my Mom now has no excuse not to have bones in the house anymore. This beautiful container hold 5 boxes of my favorite Trader Joe’s bones. My Mom also needs to know that carrots, celery or a piece of lettuce doesn’t cut it! Bones is what I must have!
🐶
The container is made of a nice heavy coated carbon steel and holds 12lbs or 54 cups of dog food and bones. 🤩Yes thank you! That is what I’m taking about. The only thing is, the lid is so well fitted and airtight that I can’t get my paws in it. What’s up with that? Not fair! I need access to bones at all times.
🐶
My Mom loves the container too because it looks pretty on her counter and even comes with a sticker that she can write my name on. I absolutely love this container! Thank you Outshine Co. for sending this to me, I mean my Mom.
🐶
Thank your for letting me take over! I miss and love you guys!  Love Sampson!

🪴
Depending on what is going on this weekend, I hoping to go to Homegoods for maybe a new blanket and some pillows. The only thing what color? I’m almost gravitating towards pink?
🪴
Though, yellow may look nice with the green plants. However, I do have so many pillows. Maybe I should look for pillow covers? Less storage. Pillows take up so much room. Oh the decisions.
🪴
I’ve seen some of you share pillow covers from Hobby Lobby. I’ve never seen them at my store, but I’ll do a search when I’m there? I guess that means I’m hitting up Hobby Lobby too. 😂
🪴
Instead of my daily question, I just want to wish and hope everyone is safe with this crazy weather.

🐰
Now that Valentines is over, it’s officially time for spring, at least in my mind. The weather may say otherwise, but I’ve been craving spring colors in my home. I went pretty neutral in my living room for winter, but I think I’m going to add some pastels. Now what color to add?
🐰
Last year if you followed me, I spent months trying to decide on what color to use. Ugh, I think I’m in the same boat again this year. I like yellows because it’s a happy color, but I also like pinks and blues. Oh the decisions.
🐰
I haven’t seem to much inspiration in the stores, though Target seems to have yellows and corals, plus a lot of neutrals. I’m seeing a lot of boho and woods. I do like woods with greenery.
🐰
What color doing you like to use in your home for Spring?

Happy Friday! We did it! Yesterday was a little bi Happy Friday! We did it! Yesterday was a little bit of rough day in my house. Woke up to see my sweet Sampson wasn’t feeling well.  He was just laying around, didn’t get up to greet me, and the biggest sign was he didn’t ask for a bone. You know how he’s obsessed with bones.
🐶
Around 9am he perked up and asked for a bone and wanted to go outside to snoop around. He seems to be better, but is still kind of laying around. I just hope he will be okay. He’s 11, and I get so worried. He’s my child.
🐶
I’m sharing with you my pretty tulips from Trader Joe’s. They have such a great selection of tulips in array of colors. Though I didn’t see any roses, which is strange. We do not have any plans for the weekend, that I know of, but we have the tendency to wing it.  I’ll keep you posted. Hope you have a wonderful Valentines weekend!

Hello Friday’s Eve! Today after work I’ll most Hello Friday’s Eve! Today after work I’ll most likely be heading to Trader Joe’s and I have to get my husband a Valentines gift. I would get him his favorite, chocolate, but he bought himself a ton of chocolate last weekend, so I’ll have to think of something else. Maybe he’ll like flowers from Trader Joe’s? Lol
🌸
Speaking of flowers, check out my new, gorgeous marble and wood cutting board that I got from my friend Brantley from @thesassyoak. I love the engraved flowers in it. It is so pretty.
🌸
The cutting board is her newest item at her Etsy shop. She engraves different items, like your name, but for me it is flowers. I’ll always keep the cutting board displayed. I think it is far to pretty to use. I’m afraid someone would scratch it.
🌸
Do you use cutting boards or just use them as display?

Happy Wednesday! My bathroom refresh should be co Happy Wednesday!  My bathroom refresh should be completed, I think this weekend? That means I get to go shopping for some new pieces to add to the bathroom. I am on the search for is some new open shelves to go above the toilet. If you have any suggestions on where to get some, let me know.
❤️
I wasn’t going to, but I decided to do a small Valentines table setting. I couldn’t resist the small white plates with the little red heart in the middle that I got from @williamssonoma. It was the first thing I bought after my no home decor buying for 30 days.
❤️
I love the simplicity of the table. It’s a small space, so I do not like to go to overboard on the decor. I added a little gift of candy hearts to bring together the reds and of course to eat.
❤️
Do you have any special plans for Valentines Day?

Hello everyone! Happy Tuesday! This weekend I clea Hello everyone! Happy Tuesday! This weekend I cleaned my kitchen sink area. It was filling up with daffodils and tulips and my husband said he feels like he’s in a greenhouse. I said they are bulbs, they won’t be there forever. Well they did poop out so I cleaned up my area to make more room for new plants.
🤣
You know when you take a photo and you realize something is in the wrong spot, so you fix it and take a photo again? Or maybe you see a crumb, a dog hair tumbleweed and you have to clean up and take a photo again. We’ll here’s my story.
😂
I took a photo of the kitchen sink area and I saw in the photo a smear mark on the dishwasher. So I cleaned the dishwasher. Then I took a photo again and I saw that smear mark again. So I scrubbed the dishwasher and ended up up cleaning all of my cabinets.
😂
I took the photo again and I saw that smear looking mark in my photo. What the heck? I examined the dishwasher and I’m thinking it’s so clean and smooth. I don’t get what that smear mark is. It was driving me crazy!!
🤣
Then it hit me. It was the reflection of the dog food dish in the dishwasher. Sigh.... All that scrubbing and I could have just moved the bowl. Well now I have a clean dishwasher and cabinets.
🤦‍♀️
Has this ever happened to you?

Hello Monday! We meet again!! And hello everyone! Hello Monday! We meet again!! And hello everyone! Hope you had a nice weekend. I took  advantage of the sunshine and 64 degree weather we had. I did some therapeutic yard work and I planted Pansies, Stock and Ranunculus in the garden. It felt so nice to be outside and to see flowers.

This weekend I finally repotted my Coffee Plant and Dracaena plant. They had roots growing out of the pot. I have no idea how the Dracaena (plant on right) plant survived. The roots were so dry and it was in about a 3” container.  I looked up the plant and it can grow to 10’. Not the care I gave mine. That little plant is about a year old.
🌸
If your looking for a low light, easy to care for plant that takes neglect, get a Dracaena. I’m proof that it can take neglect.
🌸
Basic repotting plant tips
1. Get a pot about 2-4” larger in diameter then the pot your current plant is in. Make sure it has a drainage hole at the bottom.
2. Use indoor potting soil, preferably organic.
3. Carefully take plant out of current pot, check if the roots are root bound, if so, try to untangle a little bit. Just be gentle.
4. Place plant in new pot with fresh indoor potting soil
5. Give a good watering
🌸
Did you watch the Super Bowl? I wasn’t a fan of the game, but I enjoyed some of the commercials. The Cheetos one with Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunas made me laugh. I didn’t care for the Doritos commercial with my man Matthew McConaughey.
🌸
Were there any commercials you liked?

It’s finally Friday! Woohoo! I always say to my It’s finally Friday!  Woohoo! I always say to myself, I’m going to sleep in, I never do. I get so excited of all the things I want to do, that I can’t sleep. This weekend I’m hoping to hit the garden store. I really want to plant some Iceland Poppies.
🌷
Since Spring is in my head, I created this cute Spring tiered tray. I got all of the gorgeous handcrafted pieces from my friend Brantley @thesassyoak. The workmanship is amazing. They are just happy, cheery pieces.
🌷
The love birds sign is my favorite. It reminds me of my two Blue Jays that frequent my yard. They are my favorite birds next to Woody of course.
🐦
How cute is that sweet little “BLOOM” banner. Eeeee, It makes me want to plant flowers so bad. Crossing fingers that I get too. You have no idea how I just love Spring!
🌷
To get these fabulous pieces and many more, be sure to check out The Sassy Oak. She has a beautiful Etsy shop.

Do you like gardening?
