Inspired by the classic Croque Madame, this Madame Crumpet is the tastiest brunch you\u2019ll ever make!<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Just to make sure we\u2019re all on the same wave length, a Croque Madame is essentially a hot toasted ham and cheese sandwich with a fried egg on top<\/strong>. It\u2019s got French origins and was first seen around Cafes in Paris. Today we\u2019re making it crumpet style in the most delicious way possible! Follow me\u2026<\/p>\n <\/p>\n One of the most iconic layers of a Croque Madame is the b\u00e9chamel sauce, and this crumpet version is no exception. Here\u2019s what you\u2019ll need:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n You actually want this to be fairly thick, since you\u2019ll be spread it over the crumpets. Too thin and it\u2019ll just drip off!<\/p>\n Process shots: melt butter (photo 1), stir in flour to form paste (photo 2), stir in gruyere (photo 3), stir in seasoning (photo 4).<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Okay, here\u2019s where things get fun. Sure, if we\u2019re talking technically this should really be called a \u2018Crumpet Madame\u2019, but \u2018Madame Crumpet\u2019 sounds a whole lot sassier and you know it \ud83d\ude02 Also no, this isn\u2019t a sandwich either, but that\u2019s beside the point.<\/p>\n Process shots: toast crumpets then spread with dijon butter (photo 1), add ham (photo 2), add b\u00e9chamel (photo 3), add parmesan then cook under the grill until golden (photo 4).<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n One of the key ingredients in a Croque Madame is the fried egg on top. You can cook it to preference, but I like mine sunny side up, just for all that yolky goodness.<\/p>\n I do recommend it as this crumpet version is pretty brunchy. However you can leave it off like a Croque Monsieur if you\u2019d prefer.<\/p>\n Process shots: melt in butter (photo 1), fry eggs then season with salt and pepper (photo 2).<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n As I mentioned, I usually serve these for Brunch<\/a>, typically by themselves but you could add some Hash Browns<\/a> if you wanted to go wild!<\/p>\n If you\u2019re after another fun breakfast recipe with a twist, check out my Breakfast Quiche Stuffed Bagels<\/a>!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nB\u00e9chamel Sauce<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n
