Croque Madame with Chicken

Croque Madame is originated in French Cafe the version of the dish topped with a fried egg. This is a simple Cheese sandwich with luscious chicken filling and topped with gooey white sauce and a fried egg. Traditionally it’s a ham and cheese sandwich, but here i made my own twist and made a delicious filling out of chicken and then followed the recipe.

You do not even need to make a filling, you can either use chicken sausage or salami here if you like it. But here my hubby doesn’t like all those stuffs so made a quick filling with leftover chicken and then made this yummy cheesy gooey sandwich. It’s so simple to put together and lip-smacking!

The bread is first grilled and then a touch of mustard paste, filling, mozzarella and another slice of bread. Then top it with white sauce and then bake it to perfection. This makes a quick breakfast or kids tiffin box option! A complete, filling and unique breakfast if you feel like having something different!

This will be a dreamy breakfast for egg and cheese lovers! My hubby doesn’t like runny egg so served one without egg, and the other one for kids!If you are craving for this, go and make it right now and indulge in!

2nd and simpler option

Take a chicken breast butterfly it and make it thin, then add seasoning of your choice and grill it. Place it on top of the grilled bread and then follow the instructions or you can simply use chicken salami or sausage. But I like some drama in my sandwich so made the filling!hehe
