Servings
🍽️ 2 gourmet croques
Ingredients
For 2 croques
- 4 slices of thick sandwich bread or brioche bread
- 6 to 8 slices of Premium Halal Veal Bacon
- 4 slices of melting cheese (Comté, aged cheddar or raclette)
- 1 knob of butter
- 2 tbsp of thick fresh cream
- 1 tsp of mild mustard (optional)
- A few turns of the pepper mill
- A few arugula leaves (optional)
Preparation
Mix the fresh cream with the mild mustard, then lightly season with pepper.
Lightly toast the bread slices to keep the outside crispy after cooking.
Spread a thin layer of cream on the inside surfaces of the bread.
Add the melting cheese, then generously arrange the slices of Premium Halal Veal Bacon.
Close the croques, then lightly butter the outside of the bread.
Oven cooking
Place the croques on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, then bake for about 10 to 12 minutes at 200°C until golden brown and the cheese is well melted.
Pan cooking
Cook the croques in a hot pan over medium heat for about 4 to 5 minutes per side, pressing lightly to obtain a crispy and melting texture.
Serving suggestion
Serve immediately with a lightly seasoned green salad or some roasted grenaille potatoes.
Premium Halal Veal Bacon brings a smoky and gourmet texture that pairs perfectly with melting cheeses.
Noor Gourmet Tip
For an even more premium version, add some caramelized onions or a touch of light honey before cooking.
