Ch-EASY Croque Monsieur

Better than your average grilled cheese

The scariest part of this recipe is making the béchamel, one of the classic French mother sauces! But really, it's just melting some butter, and adding flour and milk to it. That's it. You can do it!

Follow the easy step-by-step guide below and make one for yourself tonight!
