Croque Madame

Croque Madame~

3. Apply mustard onto the bread. Place a slice of cheese on each slice of bread and sandwich it which the beef slice in the center.
4. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and fry the sandwich until golden on both sides.

Directions for béchamel sauce of croquet madame:

1. Heat the remaining butter with flour to make a roux.
