Croque or Baguette Sandwiches

Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 4 baguette from the bakery or home made
  • ham cold cut
  • salami
  • chicken breast cold cut
  • cheese slices e.g. gouda, cheddar
  • sauce e.g. remulade, garlic, bechamel
  • 1 head lettuce e.g. iceberg, arugula, romana
  • 4 tomatoes
  • 1-2 onions

Instructions

  • If you like fried onions on your croque, start with cutting the onions onto rings and fry them up and set aside. Heat your oven to 180°C/350°F
  • Cut the bread open and put a little sauce on the bottom half. Then put your meat or cold cut on top and some cheese. It can be ham, salami, chicken or anything else you like and/or fried onions. Then add the sliced cheeses like gouda or cheddar. Anything fresh goes on afterwards.
  • Then you bake the bottom half for 10min in the oven. Add the top half for the last 3-5min. Make sure not to let the bread get too crunchy, especially if you have teeth problems.
  • Take both halfs out of the oven. Put the sauce, remulade or the like, on the top half, add lettuce and fresh tomatoes (optional) and close the sandwich. Now your croque is finished.
  • For open-faced croque, put sauce on both halfs, then add the meats, fried onions and cheese and bake them. Lettuce or salad we serve on the side. Tomatoes are possible to add before baking. Bake for 10-15min.
