Croque Monsieur or Croque Madame

Croque Monsieur or Croque Madame appears on all the menus in the bistros, cafés and brasseries of Paris. Croque Monsieur consists of a ham sandwich with toasted cheese on top (emmental or compté). Croque Madame is the same but with an egg on top.

More and more often you can see Croq Poilâne named after Poilâne bread. It’s a large slice of black bread on which is placed ham, cheese (emmental or mozzarella), tomatoes… before grilling olive oil and Provencal herbs are added.
