CROQUE MONSIEUR

These are the perfect indulgent snack – quick to make, hugely satisfying for all appetites. Actually they will be a great get-out-of-jail in school holidays!

i made these sandwiches at the market and they were a hit!  I just wanted to post them again as i liked the photos Simon took, showing just how simple it is to make.
