Croque Madame 🍳☀️

-To make the Pecorino Romano PDO butter: place all ingredients in a bowl and combine using a hand mixer. Whip until light and fluffy.

-To make the Croque Madame: in a medium skillet over medium-high, melt 2 Tbsp of butter, then add the flour. Mix until a golden paste forms. Continue whisking and add ¼ of the milk. Repeat with remaining milk, still whisking to combine and prevent sticking. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and add the nutmeg, gruyere and 1 oz of Pecorino Romano PDO.

-For each of the four sandwiches, spread the cheese sauce on one sourdough slice, and Dijon mustard on the other. Layer with ham and the remaining Pecorino Romano PDO, then place the halves together to make a sandwich. Spread Pecorino Romano PDO butter on the outer part of the sandwich bread.

-In a non-stick frying pan over medium-high, cook sandwiches on both sides until golden brown.

-In a separate pan, fry the eggs. Place on top of the sandwich, and enjoy!
